They spend each morning creating and building. They especially love the Light Brite Touch. These are a new material they haven't experienced before and they love creating designs on these. I was hoping to create an impact on some of my students with sensory needs with the Light Brites and they do seem to enjoy using them. They also really love the magnatiles. I have seen some students building structures and others using the magnetic letter tiles that came with it to create and spell words!

They were a perfect addition to our fine motor station. During our farm unit, the students created barns for the farm animals to play in. It was wonderful to see \"play\" incorporated into our classroom. The students were able to use their imagination and real-life experiences in their learning! \r\n\r\nMy overall goal for my kindergarten students is to make learning enjoyable for the students by providing hands-on learning experiences.

We specifically were discussing if we did not have a mother hen, how would we hatch a chicken egg? Our incubator and Life Cycle of Chickens read-alouds were delivered to our classroom! We discussed the process of incubators and were able to refer to our read-alouds as a reference! \r\nOur next steps is to continue with our life cycle unit of chickens for years to come in Kindergarten! According to my kindergartners, their favorite part of the year was hatching the chicks! \r\nThank you for providing a memorable experience for my students!","fullyFundedDate":1739373775073,"projectUrl":"project/eggcellent-learning-through-hands-on-exp/8957262/","projectTitle":"Eggcellent Learning Through Hands-On Experiences","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Dalton","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3259219"},{"teacherId":3259219,"projectId":8922305,"letterContent":"Thank you from the bottom of our Kindergarten hearts for donating to our classroom!

As a class, we decided it would be best to organize our fine motor tools in our learning centers. We worked together to label and place our materials in the storage rolling cart and the plastic storage bins. By allowing the students to have a hands-on approach in organizing these materials in our classroom, it fostered a sense of responsibility and helped create a positive learning environment.\r\n\r\nWe are excited to utilize our organizational skills to help develop more independence within our kindergarten classroom!","fullyFundedDate":1731545079807,"projectUrl":"project/keeping-kinders-organized/8922305/","projectTitle":"Keeping Kinders Organized","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Dalton","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3259219"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_61062","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":341,"numTeachers":22,"percentFrplEligible":72,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":21,"percentWhite":57,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":9,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":10,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 3","studentTeacherRatio":"15.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":82.1,"schoolId":61062,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Holloway Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Holloway Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/ohio/springfield-local-school-dist-lucas/holloway-elementary-school/61062"}
