Some students tried new fruits, so tried cutting with a knife for the first times, and being able to create their own things gave them a sense of adventure to try new foods. \r\n\r\nWe have already completed a few projects with more on the horizon. Being able to offer this has brought many smiles, laughs, and \"this is so cool\" to the room which brings smiles and pride in teachers hearts.","fullyFundedDate":1755389013489,"projectUrl":"project/more-cooking/9608093/","projectTitle":"More Cooking","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Destinee","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9621766_orig.png?crop=372,372,x0,y111&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1722862698236","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9621766"},{"teacherId":9621766,"projectId":9584511,"letterContent":"Thank you for your generous support and belief in hands-on learning for our preschool students. Because of your kindness, cooking has truly come to life in our classroom.\r\n\r\nWith the aprons, cutting boards, child-safe cutting tools, measuring items, and bowls you helped provide, our students have been able to engage in meaningful, joyful learning experiences that go far beyond the table. These materials have allowed children to explore cooperation, early math skills, language development, and creativity in ways that are authentic and memorable.\r\n\r\nSo far, our students have created a Friendship Fruit Salad as a Thanksgiving activity to celebrate gratitude and friendship. The cutting boards also became the foundation for building gingerbread houses and gingerbread men, turning a holiday tradition into a hands-on learning experience filled with teamwork and excitement.\r\n\r\nWe are incredibly thankful for the opportunities your support has already made possible, and we are equally excited for what lies ahead. In the spring semester, students will use these materials for activities such as Stone Soup, edible garden treats, and end-of-the-year shareable projects that bring friendships and learning together.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has helped create experiences that nourish both growing minds, bellies, and hearts. Thank you for investing in our students and helping us create lasting memories through meaningful, hands-on learning.","fullyFundedDate":1755298310410,"projectUrl":"project/cooking-connections/9584511/","projectTitle":"Cooking Connections","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Destinee","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9621766_orig.png?crop=372,372,x0,y111&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1722862698236","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9621766"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_92251","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":291,"numTeachers":29,"percentFrplEligible":68,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":12,"percentWhite":40,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":32,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"10.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":76.5,"schoolId":92251,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about George R Stuart Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"George R Stuart Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/tennessee/cleveland-city-school-district/george-r-stuart-elementary-school/92251"}
