My students were so excited when they first saw the new materials. Their faces lit up, and they were eager to explore everything right away. It truly brought a new level of excitement and engagement into our classroom.\r\n\r\nWe have been using these resources daily during our small group rotations and whole group lessons. The materials have helped my students better understand early literacy and math concepts through hands-on learning. I've seen students become more confident in recognizing letters, sounds, and numbers, and they are more willing to participate and try. One of my favorite moments was seeing students independently use the materials to practice skills we've been working on, they were so proud of themselves.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, my students are building a strong foundation that will support their learning moving forward. We will continue using these resources to deepen their understanding and grow their confidence even more. Thank you again for making such a meaningful impact in our classroom. Your support truly makes a difference every single day.","fullyFundedDate":1768771988872,"projectUrl":"project/growing-strong-learners-foundations-in/10039089/","projectTitle":"Growing Strong Learners: Foundations in Literacy and Math","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Tran","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10411748"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_17562","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":858,"numTeachers":65,"percentFrplEligible":74,"percentAsian":10,"percentBlack":29,"percentWhite":14,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":41,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"13.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":83.8,"schoolId":17562,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Fiest Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Fiest Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/cypress-fairbanks-independent-school-district/fiest-elementary-school/17562"}
