It is because of supporters like you that my students have the resources they need to truly thrive and see themselves as capable learners.\r\n\r\nThe Impact in Our Classroom\r\nSince introducing these kits, the energy during our math block has completely shifted. These tools have provided my students with:\r\n\r\nTactile Learning: At this age, abstract concepts become concrete when students can physically manipulate objects. Whether they are using counters for addition or base-ten blocks for place value, the kits make math \"visible.\"\r\n\r\nIndependence: Each student having their own kit has fostered a sense of ownership. They no longer have to wait to share resources, allowing them to dive straight into problem-solving.\r\n\r\nBoosting Confidence and Skills\r\nThe most significant change I've witnessed is the boost in student confidence. Before these kits arrived, many students felt intimidated by new math challenges. Now, I see them reach for their kits with a \"can-do\" attitude.\r\n\r\nWatching a student's face light up when they use their tools to solve a problem independently is priceless. They aren't just learning math; they are learning that they have the tools to overcome challenges.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in these bright young minds and for making math an exciting adventure for my 1st graders. Your kindness has left a lasting footprint on their education.","fullyFundedDate":1763554403369,"projectUrl":"project/hands-on-math-for-growing-minds/9897490/","projectTitle":"Hands-On Math for Growing Minds!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Davis","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10098914_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1769607341520","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10098914"},{"teacherId":8684390,"projectId":9751761,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your donation. The students were extremely surprised and happy to see the new basketballs.

Each student could have their own basketball to work on their dribbling skills. This was such a big impact in our EC class as they could use a smaller size basketball to accommodate to their needs. \r\n\r\nHere at Carver Elementary, we are extremely happy and grateful for your contribution.","fullyFundedDate":1763007659943,"projectUrl":"project/carver-elementary-pe-equipment-upgrade/9751761/","projectTitle":"Carver Elementary PE Equipment Upgrade","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Rodriguez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8684390"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_3622","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":487,"numTeachers":40,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":42,"percentWhite":18,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":33,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 4","studentTeacherRatio":"12.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":62.0,"schoolId":3622,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Carver Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Carver Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/north-carolina/wayne-county-public-schools/carver-elementary-school/3622"}
