During the last week of school, my students were able to make wonderful bracelets as a memento of their kindergarten year. The bracelets not only challenged their fine motor skills, but I asked them to count to beads and put the letters of their name in order. On the final day of school, several students made fuse bead creations, which required a lot of concentration and precision. \r\n\r\nAlready this year my students have enjoyed the challenge and creativity of the wooden balancing rocks. There is a limit of 3 students at a time, and the chairs are always in demand. The current record is 10 rocks high, but I have also seen a castle and a forest. \r\n\r\nFinally, my students this year will soon be able to make the same amazing artwork as my students last year. The watercolors included in this project will be used all year, culminating in a beautiful butterfly at the conclusion of our spring unit.","fullyFundedDate":1746734247120,"projectUrl":"project/fine-motor-extravaganza-beading-and-ba/9196733/","projectTitle":"Fine Motor Extravaganza - Beading and Balancing","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Capen","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2383947_orig.jpg?crop=1024,1024,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1565646573127","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2383947"},{"teacherId":3075478,"projectId":9197278,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for donating to my classroom!

As we opened the boxes, I had the students help set up our new materials and they were able to explore and engage with each other throughout the process. Together, with little help from me, they were able to decide how to store each toy after they used it, and they also had fun explaining to each other how to take care of our new materials. \r\n\r\nThese materials will be kept in our classroom for years to come and my students were so thankful to receive the gifts!","fullyFundedDate":1743431390024,"projectUrl":"project/25-kids-a-million-little-toys-what-coul/9197278/","projectTitle":"25 Kids, A Million Little Toys-What Could Go Wrong?","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Season","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3075478_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y386&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1690567671357","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3075478"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_3838","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":514,"numTeachers":23,"percentFrplEligible":87,"percentAsian":16,"percentBlack":5,"percentWhite":2,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":67,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"22.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":81.1,"schoolId":3838,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Park Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Park Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/hayward-unified-school-district/park-elementary-school/3838"}
