Two games my students particularly like are Genius Star and Genius Square. The games are mentally challenging and allow the students to work on perseverance. \r\n\r\nIt felt like Christmas in the classroom on the day that we got our materials. The students wanted an introduction and demonstration of each of the materials we received. \r\n\r\nI cannot wait to get more materials and math games for my classroom to help all my students truly understand that they too, are a math person.","fullyFundedDate":1725815504520,"projectUrl":"project/everyone-is-a-math-person/8746327/","projectTitle":"Everyone Is A Math Person!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Caouette","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5322620_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y7&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1566692604507","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-caouette"},{"teacherId":7958966,"projectId":9101346,"letterContent":"On behalf of my kindergarten students and myself, I want to sincerely thank you for your generous contribution toward flexible seating in my classroom. Your kindness has made a real and immediate difference in our daily learning environment. \r\nSince introducing the new seating options, I've seen a noticeable change in students engagement, focus, and enthusiasm for learning. The variety of seating choices allows children to find the spot where they can do their best work whether that's a wobble stool for active movement, a floor cushion for cozy reading, or a standing table for hands-on projects. \r\nFlexible seating has given students a sense of ownership over their learning space, helping them develop independence, responsibility, and self-awareness. It has also encouraged collaboration, as students naturally gravitate towards working together in comfortable, inviting spots. \r\nMost importantly, your support has shown our young learners that there are people beyond their families and teachers who care deeply about their growth and success. That message is powerful, and it will stay with them for years to come.","fullyFundedDate":1745847063106,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-seating/9101346/","projectTitle":"Flexible Seating","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Moore","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7958966"},{"teacherId":6491071,"projectId":9121772,"letterContent":"I hope this message finds you well.

As I introduced the materials, they immediately started asking questions—\"Can we use the colored paper for projects?\" and \"When do we get to play the game?\" The prize box items especially caught their attention, and I explained that they would serve as rewards for good behavior.\r\n\r\nWe've already started incorporating the supplies into our lessons. In math, students used the colored paper to create interactive fraction models, making abstract concepts more tangible. In ELA, they used the drawing materials to illustrate scenes from the novels we're reading, helping them connect with the stories in a creative way. These resources have not only made learning more engaging but have also helped reinforce positive behavior and collaboration in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1727705432926,"projectUrl":"project/6th-grade-gets-crafty/8689634/","projectTitle":"6th Grade Gets Crafty","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Aflleje","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9697900"},{"teacherId":9734384,"projectId":8804993,"letterContent":"My students love the new items. We are completing more small groups rotations now! Our word work skills are getting better everyday! \r\nStudents are working on writing words by sounds using the word map boards. The students have loved using the boards to further their skills! Being able to map out the sounds helps students write the words and then write complete sentences. Within three weeks the students have gone from writing one sentence with support to writing 2-3 sentences on their own. \r\nOther resources such as \"I have, Who has\" has been a fun whole group game to support language art skills.","fullyFundedDate":1727050117455,"projectUrl":"project/ready-for-the-world-first-graders/8804993/","projectTitle":"Read(y) for the World First Graders","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Tinker","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9734384"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_39708","uses�ǿմ�ý":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":304,"numTeachers":24,"percentFrplEligible":54,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":75,"percentIndigenous":3,"percentLatinx":7,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"12.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":55.6,"schoolId":39708,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Valley View Elementary School on @�ǿմ�ý:","schoolName":"Valley View Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/montana/great-falls-school-district-1a/valley-view-elementary-school/39708"}
