They are calm, they are regulated, and they are now ready to learn. \r\n\r\nHaving their sensory needs met is the best possible addition we could have to our school!

They were so excited to see the balls! They had fun singing and bouncing them. 5th grade used the tennis balls in a game with the same folk song, Bounce High. They had fun bouncing them back and forth. 4th grade enjoyed playing on bucket drums with the song This Little Light of Mine. Their faces lit up when they saw the bucket drums set up for class! I have offered the noise canceling headphones to several classes. So far the only class to use them was 2nd grade. I was surprised how many students asked to use them because I didn't realize they had sensory sensitivities. I used every pair that was donated for that class!\r\n\r\nThe bucket drums are going to be played by every grade level with a variety of songs. Because they have the poly spots on top, they sound more like real drums and allow for a greater variety of sounds that the bucket drums can make. The playground balls and tennis balls will be used with my recorder unit and the same folk song Bounce High. Students will play pitches on their recorders anytime the ball hits the floor, which is a fun challenge. The noise canceling headphones will be offered to every class. That way everyone is included and has the option to use them if it will help them.\r\n\r\nWe are so excited to use all of our new materials! We couldn't have done it without your support!

This contribution has immediately and profoundly impacted our learning environment, transforming abstract lessons into hands-on, engaging experiences. Specifically, the journals have allowed my students to be better writers. They now have journals that allow them write by using lines that are perfect for beginning writers. These help them write the letters/words correctly and straight across the page. These journals also have a picture box to draw pictures. The excitement at how well they are writing and drawing is incredible. They see themselves as authors of their own writing. Your commitment to education is deeply appreciated, and you have provided an invaluable resource that will foster curiosity, collaboration, and success for our students for years to come.","fullyFundedDate":1756151948489,"projectUrl":"project/the-write-stuff/9476060/","projectTitle":"The \"Write\" Stuff","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Rogers","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8384199_orig.jpg?crop=271,271,x194,y245&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1647725629578","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8384199"},{"teacherId":9844005,"projectId":9532891,"letterContent":"Thank you again for your generosity!

It makes their independent work time seamless too by keeping them on task. The privacy folders will be a big support for upcoming testing sessions and giving us the limited distractions we need when it comes to independent work time. \r\n\r\nThe stickers have been the best motivational factor to keep kids engaged! They get to go shopping for one with their reward points in my room which has been awesome and successful for all students. \r\n\r\nWe are full of gratitude for your generous donation, and again thank you so very much for your support.","fullyFundedDate":1755708564288,"projectUrl":"project/tech-support-for-gifted-title-i-learners/9532891/","projectTitle":"Tech Support for Gifted Title I Learners","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Morrison","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9844005_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y77&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1733779626268","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9844005"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_58461","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":469,"numTeachers":40,"percentFrplEligible":83,"percentAsian":6,"percentBlack":5,"percentWhite":38,"percentIndigenous":2,"percentLatinx":39,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":8,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"11.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"UNCLASSIFIED","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":62.1,"schoolId":58461,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Park Meadows Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Park Meadows Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/arizona/deer-valley-unified-school-district/park-meadows-elementary-school/58461"}
