My students were so excited to see the new materials we received for our classroom. They couldn't wait to start using them! It is always wonderful to see their faces light up when something new arrives, especially when they know it is something just for them.\r\n\r\nThese resources have helped make our classroom a more engaging and enjoyable place to learn. They give my students opportunities to stay focused, work together, and have fun while learning. I love being able to provide different activities that meet the needs of my students while also helping them build confidence and independence.\r\n\r\nAs we continue through the school year, we will keep using these materials to support learning and make our classroom a place where students are excited to come each day. Thank you again for your generosity and for investing in my students. Your kindness has made a difference in our classroom, and we truly appreciate it.","fullyFundedDate":1787141911304,"projectUrl":"project/focus-flexibility-and-fun-for-future-2/10261407/","projectTitle":"Focus, Flexibility, and Fun for Future 2nd Graders","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Sandlin","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9578589_orig.jpg?crop=1101,1101,x0,y277&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753921132067","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/bridgetsandlin"},{"teacherId":10077371,"projectId":10066644,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our Fine Motor Fun in the Art Room project! My students have already been putting our new handheld hole punches to work, and they have been such a fun addition to our art room. My first and second graders recently created rainbow ice cream cones, and for one of the final steps, they used colorful pieces of paper and their new hole punches to create tiny paper \"sprinkles\" for their ice cream. They were SO excited to punch the paper themselves, collect all of their little circles, and see something they made become part of their artwork!\r\nWhat I loved most was watching them work so independently. While they were having fun making sprinkles, they were also strengthening their hands, practicing coordination, and developing the fine motor skills that inspired this project in the first place. Some students quickly filled their paper with holes, while others carefully worked through each punch—and every little success was something they could be proud of. These simple tools gave them another way to create with their hands while building confidence in what they can do on their own.\r\nThis is only the beginning for our new supplies! We will continue using the hole punches throughout the year to add shapes, textures, patterns, and special details to future artwork across multiple grade levels. I am already thinking of so many ways to incorporate them into upcoming projects. Thank you for giving my students tools that make creating art even more hands-on, exciting, and accessible. We are incredibly grateful for your support and for the joy you have brought into our art room!","fullyFundedDate":1776089792026,"projectUrl":"project/fine-motor-fun-in-the-art-room/10066644/","projectTitle":"Fine Motor Fun in the Art Room","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hamet","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10077371_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1752291777952","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10077371"},{"teacherId":2005784,"projectId":9580808,"letterContent":"We want to thank you all for your generosity. Our classroom feels complete and cozy now! Our new rug has made such a difference in our room. The students use it often to read or spread out to work on. It is much bigger than our previous library rug too! More students are able to go to that area to work now. It is much more comfortable as well! \r\n\r\nThe colors of the rug add to our classroom environment. It's not too bright or distracting. It's perfect for our classroom.

From the moment the students saw them, they were instantly curious and excited. They couldn't wait to pose the mannequins, move the joints, and figure out how the body bends and stands. These mannequins quickly became a shared focal point at each table, encouraging collaboration, discussion, and hands-on learning as students worked together to adjust poses and observe details.\r\n\r\nWe are using the mannequins to help students learn about proportion and drawing from observation. Instead of guessing what a body should look like, students are now carefully studying real poses, noticing how long the arms are compared to the legs, how the body balances, and how movement changes the figure. One memorable moment was watching students take turns gently adjusting the mannequin while others sketched, offering suggestions like \"the legs are longer than the arms\" or \"the body leans when the foot moves.\" These tools have helped students slow down, look closely, and gain confidence in their drawing skills.\r\n\r\nNext, students will continue building on these skills by using the mannequins as references for more detailed figure drawings and creative character designs. They will apply what they've learned about proportion and movement to their own imaginative artwork, combining observation with creativity. Because of your generosity, my students now have access to professional-quality tools that make learning more engaging, collaborative, and meaningful. Thank you for giving them the opportunity to learn like real artists and for supporting creativity in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1758636769709,"projectUrl":"project/from-stick-figures-to-real-figures/9710123/","projectTitle":"From Stick Figures to Real Figures!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hamet","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10077371_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1752291777952","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10077371"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_1355","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":383,"numTeachers":27,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":17,"percentWhite":56,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":14,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":6,"gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"14.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":68.4,"schoolId":1355,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Eastover - Central Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Eastover - Central Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/north-carolina/cumberland-county-schools/eastover-central-elementary-school/1355"}
