My kindergarten scholars are enthusiastic about using their new crayons to draw and color, as well as writing their names and alphabets on their new dry erase boards. While my scholars are developing their fine motor skills with their materials, they will also be practicing and learning how to compose simple sentences using their sight words. Soon, they will require additional writing instruments to facilitate the improvement of their writing abilities. The scholars and I are extremely appreciative of the generous support that each individual who donated to our class has provided. I am grateful for your assistance in ensuring that my scholars are given the opportunity to succeed in their development. We are once again exceptionally grateful for your assistance.We trust that you will be able to provide us with your continued support in the near future.","fullyFundedDate":1730688565214,"projectUrl":"project/how-sweet-it-is-to-be-in-kindergarten/8786882/","projectTitle":"How Sweet It Is To Be In Kindergarten","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Caldwell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9137456_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1704821902396","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9137456"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_105994","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":893,"numTeachers":20,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":88,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":2,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"44.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":87.5,"schoolId":105994,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about College Preparatory & Leadership Academy on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"College Preparatory & Leadership Academy","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/north-carolina/north-carolina-department-of-education/college-prep-leadership-academy/105994"}
