Students who were once hesitant readers to select chapter books are now more confident to pick up chapter books, set personal goals, and feel proud of their progress.

Many of our students, particularly those with attention difficulties or anxiety, benefit from having a tactile outlet to keep their hands busy while engaging in lessons. The slime provides a quiet, non-disruptive sensory activity that helps students maintain focus during instruction, transitions, or independent work time. We've noticed that when students are able to use slime appropriately, they are more grounded, attentive, and less likely to engage in off-task behaviors.\r\n\r\nThis resource has also become a part of our social-emotional learning strategies. It helps students recognize when they need a moment to refocus and gives them a tool to self-soothe in a healthy and constructive way. The slime has promoted a more calm and supportive learning environment, encouraging students to advocate for their needs and take responsibility for their focus. Thank you for helping make this small but powerful intervention possible—your support is truly making a difference in how our students learn and thrive.","fullyFundedDate":1742582347932,"projectUrl":"project/focus-slime-making/9138861/","projectTitle":"Focus Slime Making","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Velasquez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6862465"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_63374","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":655,"numTeachers":31,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":97,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"21.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":72.4,"schoolId":63374,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Cesar E Chavez Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Cesar E Chavez Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/alisal-union-school-district/cesar-e-chavez-elementary-school/63374"}
