This way the students can know where everything is to be able to help me care for the guinea pigs. The class is so curious about Guinea pigs and their behavior, so the books have been a valuable resource to learn more about them! I can't say thank you enough for all the generous donations that allowed me to get much needed supplies to be able to keep the guinea pigs well cared for in my classroom!","fullyFundedDate":1755280367788,"projectUrl":"project/creature-comforts-bringing-cuddles-and/9578130/","projectTitle":"Creature Comforts: Bringing Cuddles and Joy to Our Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Lupia","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10030893_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754963989113","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10030893"},{"teacherId":7286507,"projectId":9305750,"letterContent":"When our new guinea pigs arrived, the classroom was instantly filled with excitement and joy!

We've been incorporating them into our science lessons, using daily observations to practice descriptive writing and learn about animal care, habitats, and responsibility. One special moment was when we brought our kindergarten buddies up to learn and see them Next, we plan to integrate the guinea pigs into a research project where students will create informational posters about guinea pig care, combining reading, writing, and art. These little animals have not only sparked curiosity but also created a sense of shared responsibility and community in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1746794978590,"projectUrl":"project/cuddles-and-curiosity-a-class-pet-to-in/9305750/","projectTitle":"Cuddles and Curiosity: A Class Pet to Inspire Young Hearts","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Zimmerman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7286507_orig.jpg?crop=716,716,x281,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1593199480326","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7286507"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_88940","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":744,"numTeachers":48,"percentFrplEligible":38,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":3,"percentWhite":79,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":14,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 4","studentTeacherRatio":"15.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":92.3,"schoolId":88940,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Schuylkill Valley Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Schuylkill Valley Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/pennsylvania/schuylkill-valley-school-district/schuylkill-valley-elementary-school/88940"}
