All of the wonderful, new things we received in class are being used with enthusiasm and smiles. The recording phonics buttons were a real hit. My students got a kick out of hearing their own voices saying the letters and their corresponding sounds. \r\nWe have been using these \"buttons\" during our language arts centers the children have really been having so much fun practicing their phonics more now than ever. The dress up clothes closet is another wonderful addition to our classroom. Before we got the closet, the dress up clothes were in a bin and things were hard to find. Now, everything is hanging up nicely and readily accessible to the students when they play in the kitchen/dress up area. Some of the students even helped me put the closet together, which was very exciting for them. The magnifying glass/insect containers have been used to get a closer look at ladybugs, spiders, and even a grasshopper. For my future etymologists, this has been a wonderful addition to our science area. The tree puzzles, another welcome addition to our science area, have been popular as well.\r\n\r\nAll of the items we have received have been used to further the love of learning in my students. The excitement and smiles on their faces everytime I take out the recording buttons, or help catch a bug in our bug magnifying glass containers are truly wonderful things to see. Without your generosity I would not have been able to provide all of the items that help make learning more fun and hands on. We, my students and I, thank you again.","fullyFundedDate":1746787302391,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-necessities/9186367/","projectTitle":"Classroom Necessities","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Ambers","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp574131_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y123&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1639443752727","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/574131"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_7159","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":499,"numTeachers":35,"percentFrplEligible":40,"percentAsian":7,"percentBlack":7,"percentWhite":41,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":30,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"14.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":92.6,"schoolId":7159,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Sherman Oaks Elementary Charter School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Sherman Oaks Elementary Charter School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/los-angeles-unified-school-district/sherman-oaks-elementary-school/7159"}
