When my students first saw the magnetic builds and blocks, their faces lit up with excitement. \"This is the best day ever!\" one of them exclaimed. They couldn't wait to get started and dove right in, experimenting with how the pieces connected and brainstorming ideas together. The pipes added an extra layer of creativity, as they figured out how to make them twist and turn through their designs.\r\nYour generosity has made these moments possible, and we can't thank you enough for the joy and learning you've brought to our classroom. My students are growing their skills, creativity, and confidence every day, all thanks to you.","fullyFundedDate":1730212357893,"projectUrl":"project/creative-minds-at-work-stem-adventures/8673269/","projectTitle":"Creative Minds at Work: STEM Adventures for 1st Graders","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Wilson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7935769_orig.png?crop=1374,1374,x0,y123&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1750873362775","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7935769"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_101895","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":null,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":69,"percentAsian":5,"percentBlack":15,"percentWhite":12,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":64,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Not specified","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Weighted Average","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"UNCLASSIFIED","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":60.6,"schoolId":101895,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Life School - Oak Cliff Secondary on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Life School - Oak Cliff Secondary ","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/texas-department-of-education/life-school-oak-cliff/101895"}
