We have been avid readers of our \"Let's Find Out\" magazines. Having both the online subscription for the hands on lessons, comprehension pages, introductory videos, and the actual printed copy for each student to have as a hands on learning tool has been incredibly beneficial for their learning! With this one resource, students are experiencing science, literacy, math, and social studies while building language and social skills as well!\r\n\r\nFamilies have mentioned it brings back nostalgic memories from their own elementary school experiences. By giving each student a magazine, this also acts as a bridge for families to see what we are learning about and encourages them to get involved in conversations at home around each magazine topic. With our \"Is Autumn Here\" edition, students already had the background knowledge of seasons from our science unit, but this magazine led to so much more discovery. Families reported that their children wanted to go on leaf hunts and look for signs of autumn around their neighborhoods-going beyond the four walls of our classroom. \r\n\r\nThis subscription is more than just a magazine and online platform. It's opening these kindergarten eyes into a world of endless learning and possibilities! I cannot thank you enough for supporting this cross curricular grant. My students, their families, and myself are thrilled beyond measure.","fullyFundedDate":1776454063200,"projectUrl":"project/little-minds-big-discoveries-bringing/10139758/","projectTitle":"Little Minds, Big Discoveries- Bringing Let’s Find Out to Kindergarten","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Sunny","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8432094_orig.jpg?crop=1440,1440,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1651125615372","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8432094"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_88479","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":416,"numTeachers":29,"percentFrplEligible":78,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":52,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":39,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":5,"gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"14.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":81.3,"schoolId":88479,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Newby Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Newby Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/oregon/mcminnville-school-district-40/newby-elementary-school/88479"}
