We've been putting the new resources to great use in our classroom. One of the most exciting projects we've completed so far was planting seeds in our new terrarium. The students loved planting their own seeds in the mini cups provided by a parent, and as a class, we planted microgreens in the terrarium. It was a wonderful hands-on project that inspired the students to write about their experiences and create beautiful artwork to decorate our windows.\r\n\r\nI'll never forget their reactions when we first opened the boxes. Their faces lit up with excitement—they could not wait to explore the magnetic shapes and the Play-Doh dental center! But the absolute favorite so far has been our incredible new art center, complete with an easel, paints, brushes, and enough canvases to last the entire year. Art has become a calming and creative outlet in our classroom, especially for students who use it to de-escalate or manage sensory overload.\r\n\r\nYour donation has made a real and lasting difference. You've helped us create an environment where curiosity thrives, and learning truly feels like an adventure. Thank you for being a part of our journey—you've not only blessed me, but also enriched our Montessori prepared environment in a beautiful way.","fullyFundedDate":1753626467244,"projectUrl":"project/sensational-sensorial-materials-for-inte/9475055/","projectTitle":"Sensational Sensorial Materials for Intellectual and Socially Challenged Special Students","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Edmonds","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9117866"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_6019","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":297,"numTeachers":22,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":5,"percentBlack":10,"percentWhite":71,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":6,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"13.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":76.5,"schoolId":6019,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Brockman Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Brockman Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/south-carolina/richland-county-school-district-one/brockman-elementary-school/6019"}
