I hope you know how grateful I am for your generosity to donate toward my project. All the items came quickly and in perfect condition. I had postpone using these items because my class was just not ready for them. It took a minute before I could trust that they wouldn't destroy them. As time came closer, we discussed how they would be respectful to the items. Since the items that came were used for my dramatic play area, I have only used the kitchen items. I have a very simple \"kitchen\" created from wooden apple crates. The students are divided into groups which are rotated daily. They have loved playing by creating food for their friends. I love to see the imagination and conversations that they have. I have several food items that they may not have been to exposed to before, so I love having them ask about them. \r\n\r\nI'm excited to continue to use these items throughout the rest of the year as I open up more of the dramatic play items. I am really excited for the puppets to listen to the plays that they create. Thank you again for choosing my project to donate towards, because I know that there are many you could have donated towards.","fullyFundedDate":1726173463283,"projectUrl":"project/dramatic-play-center-items/8570450/","projectTitle":"Dramatic Play Center Items","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Avery","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9631324"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_48523","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":549,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":55,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":32,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":61,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":66.7,"schoolId":48523,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Parkside Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Parkside Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/utah/alpine-school-district/suncrest-elementary-school/48523"}
