The impact was immediate and powerful.\r\n\r\nHow we're using the materials:\r\nJust last week, students worked on a hands-on learning project that brought our lesson to life in a brand-new way. Using the resources you provided, they were able to explore, create, and collaborate with confidence. One of my favorite moments was watching a group of students huddle together, excitedly testing out ideas and helping one another problem-solve—something that wasn't possible before.\r\n\r\nTheir first reactions:\r\nWhen the students first saw the materials, the room went absolutely silent for a moment... and then erupted into smiles. Of course, we had to sit down immediately and play with some of the toys together! It was a moment of pure joy, and one I won't forget.\r\n\r\nWhat's next:\r\nYour support has opened the door for deeper learning. We're now diving into an extended project where students will apply what they've learned to create their own presentations, models, and reflections. These next steps allow them to take ownership of their learning in a way that builds both confidence and independence.\r\n\r\nBecause of you, our students feel seen, supported, and inspired. Thank you for believing in their success and helping us create a classroom where every child can shine.","fullyFundedDate":1752691472550,"projectUrl":"project/kindergarten-superstars/9439760/","projectTitle":"Kindergarten superstars","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Keisha Curtis","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5606642_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1576369631104","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5606642"},{"teacherId":4497786,"projectId":5622252,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation of English–Spanish dual language books to our classroom.

Having both languages side by side not only strengthens their literacy skills but also helps them feel proud of who they are and the culture they bring with them. These books have sparked joy during story time, encouraged more family engagement, and created meaningful connections between home and school.\r\n\r\nWe are truly grateful for your kindness and for investing in our students' growth and confidence.","fullyFundedDate":1628786172508,"projectUrl":"project/reading-in-all-languages/5622252/","projectTitle":"Reading In All Languages!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Reid","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4497786_orig.jpg?crop=1124,1124,x0,y11&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1624849062087","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4497786"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_1446","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":293,"numTeachers":43,"percentFrplEligible":48,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":26,"percentWhite":44,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":20,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"6.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":85.8,"schoolId":1446,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Little River School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Little River School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/north-carolina/durham-public-schools/little-river-elementary-school/1446"}
