When we lined up they were all telling me how happy they were that we now have balls on the playground to play with. They also love playing soccer with the soccer ball.\r\n\r\nThey were so excited when they saw the animals that were added to the block center. You could just see their face light up with excitement. The first animals that I added were the farm animals. They absolutely love building barns and fences with the blocks and adding the animals to play. We also used the farm animals when we learned about size in math class. They lined the animals up smallest to largest. The animals that you donated can be used in so many of our lessons in all subjects.\r\n\r\nI am so thankful to you because the kids have been able to practice learned social skills like sharing and taking turns as well as how to work together. They have practiced letters and sounds and math skills all from your donation.","fullyFundedDate":1761053883038,"projectUrl":"project/strong-bodies-calm-minds-recess-and-p/9431502/","projectTitle":"Strong Bodies, Calm Minds: Recess and Play-Based Learning in Kindergarten","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Hawkins","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7519950_orig.jpg?crop=296,296,x0,y97&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1750801646367","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7519950"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_13506","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":355,"numTeachers":26,"percentFrplEligible":65,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":4,"percentWhite":80,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":12,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"13.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":42.9,"schoolId":13506,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Groveton Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Groveton Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/groveton-independent-school-district/groveton-elementary-school/13506"}
