When I opened the boxes and shared with them what was inside they were ecstatic. One of the first items we at the beginning of the year, was the play dough. At the beginning the students were exploring with the playdough in order to work on their fine motor skills. Gradually, the play dough stampers along with the clay and dough designer kit were introduced. Now we were making letters and shapes while at the same time strengthening our fine motor skills.\r\n\r\nWhen the Primary Journals were introduced the students loved them! Here they had the opportunity to become illustrators and use crayons to color and decorate their pictures. As the year progressed, we were able to start using letters to tell about our pictures and they become writers. We use the journals on a daily basis and we are now using words and sentences to write/tell our stories.\r\n\r\nWe have made different projects throughout the year using our cardstock and our arts and crafts. Our favorite had to be the Mohter's Day Project. The students became artists and decorated their flower pots with peel stick jewelry, shimmer shapes and acrylic gem stones. We also made a flower bouquet that had a writing and and art component that needed cardstock and crayons. Students wrote messages and decorated their flowers. They were very happy and excited to take their projects home.","fullyFundedDate":1725588261839,"projectUrl":"project/amazing-students-seeking-to-thrive-with/8642208/","projectTitle":"Amazing Students Seeking To Thrive With Your Help!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Ramos","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6806666"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_79973","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":906,"numTeachers":39,"percentFrplEligible":50,"percentAsian":63,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":29,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"23.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":93.5,"schoolId":79973,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Martha Baldwin Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Martha Baldwin Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/alhambra-unified-school-district/martha-baldwin-elementary-school/79973"}
