Your kindness has helped turn our classroom into an even more exciting, creative, and welcoming place to learn. Our 2nd and 3rd graders are benefiting from resources that support their academic growth, encourage creativity, and make learning more enjoyable!\r\n\r\nOur students were so excited to see the new materials for our classroom! Having new books to choose from, colorful supplies for projects, and special rewards for their hard work makes learning even more meaningful. Knowing that people they have never met care enough to invest in their education is something truly special.\r\n\r\nWe are putting these wonderful resources to work in so many ways! Our new classroom library books are giving students more opportunities to discover the joy of reading and explore stories that interest them. The colorful paper and cardstock are helping our artistic students bring their learning to life through creative projects in reading, math, and science. Instead of simply answering questions on a worksheet, students can demonstrate their understanding through colorful, hands-on creations.\r\n\r\nOur dry-erase supplies are especially valuable because we use them throughout the school day! Students practice phonics skills, build words, solve math problems, and share their thinking. Our new classroom clock also gives students the opportunity to practice telling time using real-life situations throughout our daily routines.\r\n\r\nThe special rewards, including scratch-off stickers and lip balms, provide a little extra excitement as we celebrate positive behavior, effort, and accomplishments. The LED lights help create a cheerful, inviting classroom environment where students feel comfortable, motivated, and ready to learn.\r\n\r\nAnd the learning doesn't stop here! Our next steps include continuing to build reading fluency and comprehension, creating projects that demonstrate our understanding across subject areas, and strengthening our math skills through daily hands-on practice. We want our students to become confident readers, creative thinkers, and enthusiastic learners who take pride in their accomplishments.\r\n\r\nOur classroom is filled with students who have different strengths, interests, and ways of learning. Your donations have helped us provide opportunities for every child to shine!\r\n\r\nFrom the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU! You have given our students so much more than classroom supplies. You have given them opportunities to explore, create, grow, and feel proud of their learning. We are incredibly grateful that you chose to support our classroom and believe in our students.\r\n\r\nWith heartfelt appreciation,\r\n\r\nMs. Freeman and Our Amazing Students\r\nKanawha City Elementary School","fullyFundedDate":1664044955964,"projectUrl":"project/lets-start-learning-in-our-2nd3rd-grad/6806646/","projectTitle":"Let's Start Learning in Our 2nd/3rd Grade Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Freeman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3116299_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1525289327307","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/amanda-freeman"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_38955","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":218,"numTeachers":20,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":19,"percentWhite":66,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":0,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":13,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"10.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":64.8,"schoolId":38955,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Kanawha City Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Kanawha City Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/west-virginia/kanawha-county-school-district/kanawha-city-elementary-school/38955"}
