Children dig, mix, pour, and pretend to cook.\r\n- A favorite moment: a group made \"mud soup\" and \"flower potions.\" They took turns being chef, server, and customer and used cups and spoons to mix ingredients.\r\n\r\nHow the children reacted\r\n- Big smiles, loud giggles, and lots of excitement. Children who are usually quiet jumped right in. They were proud to show off their creations.\r\n\r\nWhat's next\r\n- We will practice counting and measuring with cups and spoons.\r\n- We will talk about textures (wet, dry, squishy) and use new words to describe what we make.\r\n- We will invite families to a play day so children can show their mud kitchen work.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping our preschoolers learn through play every day.","fullyFundedDate":1768614759396,"projectUrl":"project/explore-nature/9987165/","projectTitle":"Explore Nature","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Amanda","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10033334_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1767814438873","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10033334"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_38968","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":375,"numTeachers":23,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":8,"percentWhite":77,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":1,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"16.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":83.7,"schoolId":38968,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Overbrook Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Overbrook Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/west-virginia/kanawha-county-school-district/overbrook-elementary-school/38968"}
