Having all materials in one place will save valuable instructional time, allowing for quicker feedback, better tracking of student progress, and more intentional support for each learner. For students, individual science folders promote responsibility, focus, and pride in their work by helping them stay organized and easily revisit what they have learned. By reducing time spent searching for papers, the classroom becomes more engaging and productive, allowing students to spend more time actively exploring science. The folders will also serve as a meaningful yearlong collection of their learning, showcasing growth and achievement over time.","fullyFundedDate":1755871791679,"projectUrl":"project/folders-for-future-scientists/9563420/","projectTitle":"Folders for Future Scientists","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Dills","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3867776_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1499285799337","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-dills"},{"teacherId":3867776,"projectId":9379848,"letterContent":"The carpet creates a designated gathering space where many of our most meaningful learning experiences take place, including read-alouds, partner conversations, and collaborative lessons. Having a comfortable place to sit helps students feel calm, safe, and ready to engage. When students are physically at ease, they are better able to focus, participate, and retain new information. The carpet also supports daily routines and smooth transitions, helping students stay organized and attentive throughout the school day.\r\n\r\nBeyond academics, this carpet plays an important role in supporting students' emotional well-being and sense of belonging. It provides a shared space where students can come together to share ideas, solve problems, and build relationships. My students are energetic, curious, and wonderfully diverse, and they thrive when they feel seen, heard, and supported. This cozy gathering space helps create that environment—one where students feel valued as members of our classroom community.\r\n\r\nYour support is making a meaningful difference by creating a learning space that promotes comfort, connection, and confidence. Thank you for helping my students thrive both socially and academically.","fullyFundedDate":1748496312784,"projectUrl":"project/soft-spots-for-learning/9379848/","projectTitle":"Soft Spots for Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Dills","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3867776_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1499285799337","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-dills"},{"teacherId":3867776,"projectId":9364518,"letterContent":"This donation will have a meaningful impact on student health, learning, and environmental responsibility by providing consistent access to clean drinking water through a Brita water filter dispenser and reusable water bottles. In our remote, rural school building with aging pipes, filtered water ensures students can stay properly hydrated, improving focus, stamina, and overall well-being throughout the school day. By eliminating the need for single-use plastic bottles, students actively participate in sustainable practices while learning the importance of environmental stewardship. Paired with our daily participation in the 100-Mile Club, access to clean drinking water supports students' physical health, mental readiness, and academic success, creating a healthier and more equitable learning environment for all.","fullyFundedDate":1747577754394,"projectUrl":"project/healthy-water-healthy-students/9364518/","projectTitle":"Healthy Water - Healthy Students","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Dills","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3867776_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1499285799337","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-dills"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_36411","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":310,"numTeachers":19,"percentFrplEligible":74,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":74,"percentIndigenous":2,"percentLatinx":13,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"16.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":82.0,"schoolId":36411,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Concrete Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Concrete Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/washington/concrete-school-district/concrete-elementary-school/36411"}
