These costumes are thoroughly shared during the TK explorative play time. As the classroom teacher, I have observed increased energy and engagement in the students' imaginative play. I have also observed students with limited English talking more, and also playing with a wider circle of classmates. The variety and vibrant colors of the fabrics, as well as the additional toys included with the costumes, have inspired all the students to talk more, and to talk with a greater number of their classmates. \r\n\r\nThe more these kiddos communicate with each other, and with the greater variety of classmates they communicate, the more opportunities these kids have to practice and refine their spoken language. It is their spoken language that students transcribe in their own writing. If a child can speak in a way that is clear, organized, and generally better understood, they will more likely write in a way that is clear, organized, and understood. Amazingly, your purchase has great influence in the future writing skills of these littles!","fullyFundedDate":1775175271088,"projectUrl":"project/what-do-you-want-to-be-when-you-grow-up/10177165/","projectTitle":"What Do You Want to Be When You Grow Up?","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lemon","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10473342_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y494&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1776984133584","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/misslemon"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_36467","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":566,"numTeachers":27,"percentFrplEligible":70,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":7,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":85,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":4,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"21.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":67.7,"schoolId":36467,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Juniper Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Juniper Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/escondido-union-elementary-school-district/juniper-elementary-school/36467"}
