The students were very excited when they first saw the new toy organizer shelf and thought it was \"so cool.\" Because each toy/item kit has a designated space on the shelf, students are learning to take responsibility for the materials they use and are becoming more independent when cleaning up.\r\n\r\nThe organizer has also helped create a clear routine for playtime. Students choose what they would like to play with, take it from its designated spot, and before moving on to a different toy, they are expected to return it to the same spot. Having the exact space open where the toy belongs makes it easier for students to know where everything goes and encourages them to clean up without as much adult prompting.\r\n\r\nOverall, the classroom organizer has helped make our play area more functional, organized, and inviting. It has also provided students with an opportunity to practice responsibility, organization, and independence. What was once simply a place to store toys has become a tool for teaching students how to take care of their classroom and the materials they have earned through their hard work.","fullyFundedDate":1778227146626,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-play-organization-area/10125542/","projectTitle":"Classroom Play Organization Area","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Mehlhaff","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10065251_orig.jpg?crop=1273,1273,x0,y97&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755300998860","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10065251"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_79892","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":233,"numTeachers":6,"percentFrplEligible":27,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":89,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":7,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":0,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"38.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":60.0,"schoolId":79892,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Wishek Public School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Wishek Public School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/north-dakota/wishek-school-district-19/wishek-public-school/79892"}
