They look forward to bringing their book bags home at the end of the week and love to peek inside their bag to see what's been picked out for them. The items that they receive each week are generally based on our observation of the students' interests, while we've created a rotation with the Toniebox audio system so that each student and their family gets a chance to try it out. \r\n\r\nWhen the thought of creating a lending library came to mind one and a half years ago, my hope is that families can serve as partners in their children's learning. One of the top focus in our district that serves primarily low income families is Language and Literacy. As a teacher in the special education preschool program, every student in my class receives speech therapy, and half of them are non-verbal, which means they rely on other methods, such as gestures, facial expressions, or pictures to communicate their needs. This means that the focus on language and literacy becomes even more crucial for our student population as it impacts every aspect of their lives. \r\n\r\nIn addition, many of our families rely on an iPad and screen time to find respite within their challenging day and oftentimes through many restless nights. My hope of introducing the screen-free audio player is to reduce screen time and provide children with alternative means of listening to their favorite songs without scrolling through YouTube. \r\n\r\nThis project is still in its beginning stage where only families who have signed and returned an agreement form can participate. This is to ensure that materials being sent home will be cared for and returned in a timely manner. Currently the participation rate sits at less than 40%, which is 6 out of my 16 students. Going forward, with additional outreach and hopefully through word of mouth, my goal with this project is to increase the participation rate in my class to at least 70%. \r\n\r\nThank you for your partnership in making this vision become a reality!","fullyFundedDate":1759290849285,"projectUrl":"project/build-literacy-through-screen-free-liste/9676011/","projectTitle":"Build Literacy Through Screen-Free Listening Center","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Jen","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10238609_orig.jpg?crop=857,857,x422,y38&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1758776648910","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10238609"},{"teacherId":10160844,"projectId":9551042,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donations!

The new footballs, jump ropes, basketball playground balls, and parachutes have already made a noticeable impact on our PE lessons and on student enthusiasm for physical activity.\r\n\r\nStudents are using the equipment in a wide variety of health and wellness lessons designed to teach physical fitness, motor skills, and teamwork. The parachutes have become a student favorite! Our 30-ft parachute and smaller 6-ft parachutes have allowed us to create cooperative learning games that build coordination, communication, and shared problem-solving. Our pull cart and heavy-duty mesh storage bags have helped keep equipment organized and easily accessible, allowing us to transition smoothly between activities and maximize movement time. We have also incorporated the electronic whistle for efficient instruction and safety during larger class games.\r\n\r\nOne of the most exciting moments was watching students see the new materials for the first time. Their eyes lit up when they noticed the brand-new footballs, colorful jump ropes, and large new parachute spread across the blacktop. Many students immediately asked when they could start playing! Several students even commented that this equipment \"Makes PE fun again,\" which shows just how much these resources have elevated their experience and confidence.\r\n\r\nWe are currently using the nylon clips and plastic mile time tags to support our running and cardiovascular endurance lessons. Students are learning how to track their times and set personal fitness goals while building a stronger understanding of healthy movement habits. This tracking has given them ownership over their improvement and helped them celebrate progress in a meaningful way. Our next step is to help students use these results to understand growth mindset and to develop positive attitudes around health and wellness.\r\n\r\nThanks to your support, our PE program is better equipped to teach lifelong physical fitness and expose students to team sports in an engaging and developmentally appropriate way. Your contribution has strengthened our ability to promote health, active play, teamwork, and confidence for every child in our school.

We are making calendars each month by measuring whole inches and fractions of inches. This ensures that each day of the month receives the exact same area. The rulers were essential tools for this task!\r\nWe also studied the early American civilizations: the Maya, the Aztec, and the Inca. Through this unit, we learned about the similarities and differences between these groups of people, with respect to their farming methods, their architecture, and their social classes.

Because of you, art is not simply an \"extra\" in our school—it is at the heart of how our students learn, explore, and make sense of the world. Your support allows us to integrate art with science, history, and literacy, helping students see connections across subjects and experience learning in meaningful and memorable ways.\r\n\r\nIn our community, where resources are often scarce, the materials you provided made a profound difference. Many of our students would not otherwise have access to high-quality art supplies or opportunities to explore different forms of creative expression. Thanks to your generosity, every student—regardless of their background or financial circumstances—has had the chance to create, experiment, and shine. The tools you helped us secure encouraged students to take creative risks, refine their artistic skills, and discover unique ways of communicating their ideas. For many children, these opportunities become moments of confidence and pride that carry into their academic work and personal lives.\r\n\r\nOne of the most exciting projects your donation made possible this year was our Space Week Art Exposition. Students in grades three through five created imaginative dioramas depicting their own original space habitats. To strengthen the connection to science, students had to consider what an organism needs to survive: food sources, shelter, environmental conditions, and basic survival structures. Using Model Magic and other sculptural materials purchased with your support, they designed creatures capable of living in the habitats they envisioned. Students then built elements such as imaginary food systems, protective structures, and environmental features to complete their miniature worlds.\r\n\r\nThe project is also connected to language arts. After building their dioramas, students wrote stories describing how their creatures live, adapt, and interact within their habitats. They described the daily routines of their imagined organisms, the challenges they faced, and even the cultures of their tiny alien communities. Their narratives were clever, humorous, and sometimes surprisingly thoughtful. This interdisciplinary blend of art, science, and writing allowed students to feel ownership of their learning and to see how creativity can deepen understanding across subjects.\r\n\r\nSpace Week itself holds special meaning for our school. We celebrate it each year in honor of Dr. Ronald McNair, the first African American astronaut. As part of the celebration, students learn about his life, his achievements, and his extraordinary perseverance. For the children in our multi-racial community, Ronald McNair represents the power of determination, curiosity, and the courage to follow your dreams—even when those dreams seem impossible. Having the opportunity to honor his legacy through creative work makes the week especially memorable.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, our art room has become a space where every child can be an innovator, a storyteller, and a problem solver. Students use art not only to understand scientific concepts but also to fuel their writing, broaden their perspectives, and consider the world in new ways. Whether they are sculpting with clay, exploring texture with rubbing plates, creating colorful collages, or building imaginative worlds out of mixed media, you have provided them with materials that match their passion, excitement, and potential.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in our students and for helping us create a learning environment where creativity thrives. Your gift continues to inspire joyful learning every single day, and we are deeply grateful for the difference you've made in the lives of our young artists.","fullyFundedDate":1755662866620,"projectUrl":"project/sparking-creativity-through-art-stations/9626575/","projectTitle":"Sparking Creativity Through Art Stations for Young Storytellers","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Hamilton","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2351877_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1455853435138","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/artinsteam"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_105097","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":266,"numTeachers":17,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":95,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"15.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":84.2,"schoolId":105097,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Los Robles Magnet Academy on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Los Robles Magnet Academy","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/ravenswood-city-elementary-school-district/los-robles-magnet-academy/105097"}
