When the boxes first arrived and we opened them them, they were absolutely thrilled to dive in and because of you, our learning environment is in the process of becoming a hub of creativity, collaboration, and language discovery. \r\n\r\nThe arrival of the Magnetic Tiles, and Stem Building Toys has sparked a new level of engagement. My students are natural explorers, but these resources have given them tools to bring some of their visions to life. Various groups of students have been able to collaborate using the magnetic tiles to build a \"Community Center.\" I watched as they negotiated how to stabilize the structure and I have witnessed students who are typically quite shy, take the lead in explaining how they wanted figurines such as LEGO characters to interact with each other within this newly created space. Seeing my students' confidence bloom is exactly why these hands-on materials are so vital.\r\n\r\nAs many of my students are native Spanish speakers, the magnetic letter tiles have become an essential bridge in their journey toward English mastery.\r\n\r\nWe have been using the letters to build words in activities such as allowing students to physically move the tiles to see how changing one letter transforms a word (like turning cat into can). Having these concrete, moveable objects makes the abstract concept of a second language feel much more manageable and fun. They aren't just memorizing; they are building their new language with their own hands.\r\n\r\nOnce again, thank you for believing in our creativity. These supplies have enabled them to feel like they can build anything they can imagine! Your support has provided more than just supplies; you've provided the building blocks for confidence, teamwork, and literacy and we are so grateful for your kindness!","fullyFundedDate":1759066091285,"projectUrl":"project/building-thinking-creatively-and-critica/9741148/","projectTitle":"Building Thinking Creatively and Critically","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. B","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10272328"},{"teacherId":8919481,"projectId":9468405,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation to support our classroom library.

The students were excited to help organize the baskets and loved seeing the library come together—it made the space feel more inviting and easier for them to find books they enjoy.\r\n\r\nNext, we will continue to use it daily during independent reading, small groups, and book discussions to strengthen reading skills and foster a love of reading.\r\n\r\nThank you for making our classroom a better place to learn.","fullyFundedDate":1758855090607,"projectUrl":"project/if-you-give-a-book-a-home/9468405/","projectTitle":"If you give a book a home!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Chan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8919481_orig.jpg?crop=2306,2306,x317,y1325&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1752693136296","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8919481"},{"teacherId":5006575,"projectId":9214779,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for this donation!

Because of your contribution, I was able to complete my Breathe For Change training — an experience that has truly been life-changing.\r\n\r\nThroughout the training, I learned powerful strategies that have helped me become the best version of myself, both personally and professionally. These practices have now become a part of my daily routine at work, and I teach them explicitly to the students I serve. It has been incredible to see how these tools not only support my own well-being, but also empower the students to care for themselves and each other.\r\n\r\nOne of the most transformative strategies I've embraced is breathwork. Learning various breathing techniques has had a profound impact on my life, and I'm proud to share that these practices are now part of our school community. We have introduced breathing exercises on our morning news program — and even more inspiring, our students have begun leading these breathing exercises themselves! Watching them take ownership of these practices and seeing the positive ripple effect across our school is one of the greatest highlights of this journey.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in me and making this opportunity possible. Your support has sparked a meaningful transformation — not only in me, but in the many young lives I am privileged to touch.","fullyFundedDate":1726258425886,"projectUrl":"project/breathe-for-change-our-wellbeing-matter/8394655/","projectTitle":"Breathe for Change: Our Wellbeing Matters!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Frattura","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6592957_orig.jpg?crop=623,623,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1715221044989","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6592957"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_33711","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":765,"numTeachers":59,"percentFrplEligible":76,"percentAsian":5,"percentBlack":16,"percentWhite":14,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":61,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"13.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":60.6,"schoolId":33711,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Groveton Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Groveton Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/virginia/fairfax-county-public-schools/groveton-elementary-school/33711"}
