With the variety of the materials that we received will help with showing off their personalities and help them  learn their colors. We will use these materials for daily learning papers and special art projects. The best way to make kids learning fun and engaging for children is through hands-on activities that involve Imagination and creativity. The things they come up with are short of amazing. My students absolutely love all the different materials we have received, and beg to use them on a daily basis. These crayons, markers, paint, ink pads provide hands-on activities that minimize swiping and create a collaborative, engaging learning experience. As students work together to overcome the different challenges, they also learn cooperation, gain social and emotional understanding of their peers, recognize the strengths of others in the group, and foster leadership skills. Encourage students to think outside the box and find answers as unique as the students themselves. Having these materials tap into a student's curiosity and creativity to encourage hands-on problem solving and social skill development. It pushes the students to continue developing their skill sets and challenge themselves. It is learning through creation! It also allows for the development of social-emotional skills. Encourages interaction and collaboration. Students learn by engaging, and with these art supplies we can promote open-ended interaction and learning through creativity. Now that we have it, I could not see going without it. We use it in centers as a fun way to build artistic personalities. By using art with my students, it provides hands-on learning to students who have been identified with a wide range of learning disabilities at my elementary School. I am so pleased with the level of creativity, the amount of learning, and the skills these have helped my students from their own unique way of imagination. Every student finds something they love about the activities. The only issue is they do not want to stop! Art has become an important component in every part of my curriculum for all my students. Finally seeing the promise of great imagination come alive. It is wonderful to see our students enjoy showing off their latest creations. \r\n\r\nI use art as a center for 4 students to use at a time when they play. They are engaged and love working with these materials. They really do not know they are learning, they think it is just a way of using colors. They never want to give it up when it is time to put it away. I have heard a lot of them say this is fun. I can make a bird or a house with many colors,","fullyFundedDate":1787318811874,"projectUrl":"project/art-in-little-ones-eyes/10396807/","projectTitle":"Art in Little Ones' Eyes","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Van Brunt","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8314687_orig.jpg?crop=1488,1488,x0,y14&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1691634669108","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8314687"},{"teacherId":9399083,"projectId":10233856,"letterContent":"I wanted to thank you again for your extremely generous donations to the \"Xylophones During Centers\" project. Now my students do not have to share the xylophones or take turns with each other during center time. This is also our very first wooden xylophone, so now the students can hear the differences between a metallophone (a metal xylophone) and a true wooden xylophone. This donation is going to be very useful during center time, and has been useful when we were learning how to play the instruments as a full class.\r\n\r\nI recently had my full-class lesson on how to play the xylophones, so we could start using them during center time. This is where we line up the instruments at the front of the class, the front four students play the instruments, and follow along with a video. The song they played was an accompaniment to \"Pass the Pumpkin\" for fall time. After the front five students receive their turn, they rotate to the back of the line. At the back of the line, they practice with paper xylophones, so when they make their way back to the front of the line, they know their part even better. The students absolutely loved playing with the new instrument, and are super excited to play with it during centers, where I give them a little more leeway. They will be reading music first, like \"Mary Had a Little Lamb,\" but eventually they will create their own melodies and write them down.\r\n\r\nThank you once again, my students are utterly thrilled!","fullyFundedDate":1787318783595,"projectUrl":"project/xylophones-during-centers/10233856/","projectTitle":"Xylophones During Centers","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Tuttle","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9399083_orig.png?crop=1242,1242,x0,y455&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1701724940244","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9399083"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_86887","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":338,"numTeachers":28,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":4,"percentWhite":44,"percentIndigenous":21,"percentLatinx":6,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":20,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"12.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":80.8,"schoolId":86887,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Mary White Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Mary White Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/oklahoma/haskell-school-district-2/mary-white-elementary-school/86887"}
