I have been trying some of them out in our large sensory table and also small individual sensory boxes for them to find hidden objects. So far I think the sensory noodles have been everyone's favorite including me because they are do easy to clean up off of the floor. \r\nI really appreciate the new items. We have had a lot of sickness to start the year. It has been so nice to be able to keep the sensory table open by cleaning them in between classes to help slow down others from getting sick. My class total is just shy of 40 students right now so your gift is being enjoyed by a large number of preschoolers and will be for years to come.\r\nI just want to thank all of you again for helping out my classes to purchase all these items. I can't wait to let them see the last one that we haven't gotten out yet.

They have enhanced our learning in many ways and created many enjoyable moments of learning. We enjoyed reading the new picture books, and then using our legos to make settings and characters from the story. \r\nBuilding settings and characters from favorite books has helped students understand stories better. Seeing the setting in front of them helps them picture what is happening better, improving their comprehension skills. There were several students excited for the chapter books because we were missing that one in a series. They do not want to skip a book incase they miss reading something important. We are so grateful for everyone who donated to this project and made reading just a little bit more fun.","fullyFundedDate":1744032907003,"projectUrl":"project/bricks-and-books-building-reading-skil/9046652/","projectTitle":"Bricks and Books: Building Reading Skills","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Gates","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7155243"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_92147","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":199,"numTeachers":17,"percentFrplEligible":35,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":87,"percentIndigenous":4,"percentLatinx":6,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"11.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":69.4,"schoolId":92147,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Alcester - Hudson Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Alcester - Hudson Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/south-dakota/alcester-hudson-school-61-1/alcester-hudson-elementary-school/92147"}
