Kids often express themselves with words like \"Whoa!\" or \"This is so cool!\" and immediately dive into exploring, trying things out for the first time. They love the novelty of something new, especially if it's something hands-on or tech-based. For example, while introduce a set of STEM kits or robotics resources, the students' initial reactions involve a lot of questions like, \"What does this do?\" or \"How does this work?\" But soon enough, the excitement takes over as they start experimenting and learning.\r\n\r\n\r\nAs for the next steps in the classroom, I would likely tie the use of these new materials into an ongoing lesson or project. For instance, if the class is working on a science project, I let students use new materials (e.g., our playdoh) to conduct experiments or create presentations. The goal is to have students work through hands-on learning, deepening their understanding of the subject matter.\r\n\r\n\r\nIn all, the introduction of new resources in a classroom typically sparks creativity, fosters collaboration, and enhances learning in fun and engaging ways, especially during indoor recess moments when students have a bit more freedom to explore.","fullyFundedDate":1733278461979,"projectUrl":"project/indoor-recess/8936933/","projectTitle":"Indoor Recess","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Arribas","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6660203"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_16985","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":300,"numTeachers":26,"percentFrplEligible":84,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":17,"percentWhite":5,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":64,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"11.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Record","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":78.1,"schoolId":16985,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Geneva Heights Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Geneva Heights Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/dallas-independent-school-district/robert-e-lee-elementary-school/16985"}
