On a daily basis students can utilize the various view masters that I have available in morning bins. Students get greeted at the door, eat some breakfast and then get to use a wide variety of morning bins and the view masters are quite the hot morning bin. During math instruction and play time the students love using the play doh and the tools that go along with them. The enthusiasm is so high for the play doh that I have created another station for students to get the opportunity to play with the play doh. Finally the kinetic sand has been quite helpful in my zen zone. Students get to run their hand through it while they are trying to get themselves calm (in the green zone). Thank you so much for all your donations and kindness. You will never understand the true impact you have made on my students.","fullyFundedDate":1729470160013,"projectUrl":"project/kicking-it-in-kindergarten/8503146/","projectTitle":"Kicking It in Kindergarten","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Groth","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4827639_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1506290531348","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4827639"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_38578","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":355,"numTeachers":25,"percentFrplEligible":57,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":8,"percentWhite":60,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":20,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"14.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":81.8,"schoolId":38578,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Lowell Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Lowell Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/wisconsin/waukesha-school-district/lowell-elementary-school/38578"}
