The new resources were the highlight of our outdoor play station, encouraging collaboration, creativity, and lots of physical activity. One especially meaningful moment was when we used the parachute for a team-building activity—watching the kids work together to create waves, pop balls into the air, and even take turns running underneath was both heartwarming and exciting. The equipment helped us not only celebrate the end of the year, but also reinforce the social-emotional skills we've worked on throughout the school year.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the outdoor materials, their eyes lit up with pure excitement. They immediately started exploring and testing everything out with big smiles and laughter. For many of them, it felt like a brand-new playground created just for them. As we wrap up the year, we're continuing to focus on cooperative play, communication, and movement through structured outdoor games and free play sessions. Your support helped turn our outdoor time into a meaningful extension of the classroom, and it's a gift that will continue to support learning and joy for years to come.","fullyFundedDate":1683312460226,"projectUrl":"project/end-of-year-outdoor-party/7335203/","projectTitle":"End of Year Outdoor Party","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Batiste","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3725436_orig.png?crop=1029,1029,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1747329917115","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3725436"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_18141","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":334,"numTeachers":23,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":80,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":17,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"14.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":70.4,"schoolId":18141,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Kashmere Gardens Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Kashmere Gardens Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/houston-independent-school-district/kashmere-gardens-elementary-school/18141"}
