When something does not fit, they will need to examine the problem, explain their thinking, and adjust their approach. Groups will share responsibilities so that each student has opportunities to build, troubleshoot, and support their peers.\r\n\r\nYour donation will help students experience the satisfaction of building something complex, one small piece at a time. These materials will give our club meaningful projects that encourage persistence, creativity, and a sense of belonging."},{"profilePhotoURL":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7036125_orig.jpg?crop=771,771,x901,y129&width=136&height=136&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1666367649076","schoolName":"Fountain Inn Elementary School","costToComplete":98.20,"teacherId":7036125,"hideDetails":false,"teacherName":"Mrs. Hood","numDonors":8,"numStudents":999,"fulfillmentTrailer":"Help me give my students an opportunity to build their love of reading!","totalPrice":300.61,"povertyLevel":"More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households","proposalURL":"project/buttons-books-and-big-imaginations/10758264/","hasReceivedDonations":true,"hasBeenFunded":true,"matchMultiplier":"2X","location":"Fountain Inn, SC","id":10758264,"title":"Buttons, Books, and Big Imaginations!","essay":"I love how curious, creative, and enthusiastic our students are! Our elementary school library serves approximately 1,100 students in grades K5 through fifth grade. From our youngest readers discovering the magic of books to our fifth graders exploring new interests, every student brings something special to our library. They love hands-on activities and opportunities to celebrate their accomplishments, and we want to keep that excitement for learning alive!\r\n\r\nA button maker will help turn our students' excitement about reading into meaningful learning experiences! Students will create buttons celebrating reading milestones, recommending favorite books, and participating in library challenges. These activities will encourage students to read more, explore new genres, share book recommendations, and express their creativity. Our goal is to increase student engagement in reading, build a stronger reading community, and inspire a lifelong love of books. With your support, we can make our library an even more exciting place to learn, grow, and shine!"}]
