My students felt like it was Christmas as the many new and exciting resources came into the classroom. They were filled with joy as they had the opportunity to use the resources throughout the past few months. Because of the variety of resources, everyone in the class has found something that they have fallen in love with.\r\n Some students have loved the Reading Nook. It is filled with many multi-cultural books that we were able to get through this grant. We have also placed themed books in the book shelf as we move through our science and social studies units. We added a large stuffed puppy into the Reading Nook where students cuddle up to read a great book. This has been a great place for partner reading and a safe place for students to calm down when upset. The small carpet provided another area in the room to have a center. Students have worked in small groups to build STEM projects, as well as, just reading a good book. The building logs are a big hit as we are learning about Colonial Times. We did a unit on Farms earlier in the year and these logs have become a great way to connect the two units. \r\n The light table has been a huge hit with the students. They love when we take it out to practice math strategies. As we build our collection of light reflecting manipulatives, I think this will become a staple for our math instruction time. Thank you for helping me to provide these wonderful resources for my students this year and for years to come.","fullyFundedDate":1763475382432,"projectUrl":"project/building-a-multi-cultural-classroom-comm/9625138/","projectTitle":"Building a Multi-Cultural Classroom Community Through STEAM and Reading","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Schlasta","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10190069"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_90025","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":559,"numTeachers":39,"percentFrplEligible":49,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":5,"percentWhite":75,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":16,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":1,"gradesServed":"K - 2","studentTeacherRatio":"14.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":82.6,"schoolId":90025,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Donegal Primary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Donegal Primary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/pennsylvania/donegal-school-district/donegal-springs-elementary-school/90025"}
