I honestly cannot express how much these materials have meant to my students and me. Having these extra resources has made such a difference in our classroom, not only during instruction but also in the little everyday moments that make our classroom feel special.\r\n\r\nOne of the biggest blessings has been having a collection of snacks available for my students. Last school year, I struggled at times with not having enough snacks for everyone. This year, thanks to your generosity, my students have had snacks available when they need them, and I have not had a child go hungry in my classroom. That alone means so much to me!\r\n\r\nThe materials have also helped me create classroom routines that my students absolutely love. I used the laminating supplies to create classroom jobs, giving students opportunities to take on responsibilities and feel proud of the important roles they have in our classroom. I also used the toys and other materials to build our classroom store. My students can earn $1 each day by doing their best and making positive choices, then use their earnings to shop for a toy on Fridays. They look forward to visiting the store, and it has become a fun way to encourage responsibility, positive behavior, and hard work throughout the week. Having these additional toys means I can continue this routine and keep it exciting for my students.\r\n\r\nOther supplies have made our daily instruction run more smoothly, too. I especially love the mini dry-erase markers! They are the perfect size for little hands, and having an eraser attached makes them so convenient during small-group instruction. The sticky notes have also been helpful as I organize my small-group notes and keep track of what my students are working on. Even the smaller items, like the bandages, have been useful in helping me care for my students throughout the day.\r\n\r\nAs we continue through the school year, I plan to keep incorporating these materials into our daily routines and lessons. I want my students to have a classroom where they feel cared for, encouraged, and excited to learn. Thank you for helping me make that possible. Your generosity has reached beyond the supplies themselves and has made a difference in the experiences I am able to provide for my students.","fullyFundedDate":1787585410699,"projectUrl":"project/supporting-my-kindergarten-classroom/10241736/","projectTitle":"Supporting My Kindergarten Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Pearson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10488891"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_3343","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":484,"numTeachers":32,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":43,"percentWhite":6,"percentIndigenous":13,"percentLatinx":27,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":8,"gradesServed":"K - 3","studentTeacherRatio":"15.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"UNCLASSIFIED","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":54.2,"schoolId":3343,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Rowland Norment Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Rowland Norment Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/north-carolina/public-schools-of-robeson-county/rowland-norment-elementary-school/3343"}
