The chairs help them get their wiggles out, stay focused, and feel comfortable during lessons. They've quickly become one of the most popular choices in our room, and the kids get so excited when it's their turn to use one.

My students are having a great learning experience as they explore the models, x-rays and puzzle of the amazing human body. Not only have they learned about different body systems, they will retain much of this information because they have loved having hands-on experience.\r\n\r\nBeing able to explore the skeleton, brain, heart, eye, and ear has brought added understanding and appreciation our wondrous bodies. These models haven't had a lonely moment since I presented them to the class.\r\n\r\nMy students are now busy with writing projects about systems of the body. They are looking forward to sharing these with their peers and families. I'm certain that their writings will be more informational, correct, and entertaining as they take their learning and put it down in words.\r\n\r\nThank you so much for you kind donation!","fullyFundedDate":1755748835551,"projectUrl":"project/bones-muscles-and-nerves-oh-my/9562958/","projectTitle":"Bones, Muscles and Nerves.

We had an amazing time using the science car kits in our engineering unit. The students worked together in small groups to build and improve their cars for over a week. They had to work through frustration and even some tears before they found excitement and success. It was a wonderful growing experience and it stretched students past what they thought they could do. We were finally able to race the cars in the gym and almost all of the cars were able to participate. The students were so proud of themselves!\r\nThank you for our printer. It is so nice to have a printer in class to use in emergencies when I cannot leave the classroom. It is also nice to have to print student writing assignments. \r\nThank you for the erasers. They work so much better than the ones provided by the school. In addition, they provide a great texture and color to our classroom. \r\nFinally, we love the noise canceling headphones. They allow students to focus on their independent work.

They love that it doesn't have to be plugged in all of the time, they love that it sucks in the pencil and then spits it out when it is finished sharpening, and they love that it sharpens perfectly every time! It really has been a time saver in class. I would love to get another pencil sharpener just like this so I can have one on each side of our classroom. \r\nThe second thing we received is our noise canceling headphones.

Who knew a large stuffie didn't weigh much but that a small handful of coins could tip the scale?!\r\n\r\nWe have been discussing gratitude during our SEL Morning Meetings all week. When I explained how our class acquired these awesome weights their faces showed that they understand and feel gratitude. They were even more amazed that these gifts came from people they don't know.

Unlike the worn-out set I inherited, these are sturdy, clean, and fit perfectly on student desks. They no longer distract students by falling apart or with the writings of students past, and I know they'll last for years to come. \r\n\r\nBoth of these additions have brought a sense of freshness, joy, and quality to our classroom, and I am so thankful for the lasting impact they will have on my students' learning and daily experiences.","fullyFundedDate":1746719204006,"projectUrl":"project/restoring-quiet-confidence-with-new-test/9316595/","projectTitle":"Restoring Quiet Confidence with New Test Shields","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Peterson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7518435_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1599660346810","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7518435"},{"teacherId":7518435,"projectId":9284734,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous donations, our classroom has been enriched in so many meaningful ways.

Students put the folders up and headphones on for tests, and individual work time. The headphones have also helped my noise sensitive students, especially in the fire drill last Friday. They were able to stay calm knowing that most of the noise would be blocked. The kicky bands are providing my high energy students with a way to move their feet while staying seated. Students enjoy the flexibility provided by clipboards. They can work away from their desks while still having a hard surface to write on. \r\n I sure appreciate your generosity in making these very helpful tools available to my students.

Our curriculum picture books are on display and in easy reach when a lesson calls for the stories, and students can see them! They point out the stories we have read almost every day and tell me details that they remember. It is an essential skill that we work on in kindergarten.\r\nOne that we use the most often is our Yoto speaker. After receiving the speaker and the story cards to go with it, we began listening to the Disney stories as part of our meditation/quiet time break. During the Lion King story (which only 5 students in my class had heard before) one of my students saw a book on my shelf, read the title Lion King, and brought it to me. It was a book that a previous teacher left behind and didn't realize we had. After flipping through it, I discovered it matched the Yoto audiobook speaker word for word! They were so excited it was the same and enjoyed looking at the pictures while listening to it.\r\nOnce again, thank you for all that you do!","fullyFundedDate":1723673761075,"projectUrl":"project/miss-willys-world-wishlist/8618551/","projectTitle":"Miss Willy's World Wishlist","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Williams","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9644084_orig.png?crop=413,413,x43,y45&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755282875934","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9644084"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_33026","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":457,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":24,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":70,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":17,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":88.7,"schoolId":33026,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Woods Cross Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Woods Cross Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/utah/davis-school-district/woods-cross-elementary-school/33026"}
