This simple feature helps make a big difference in keeping students focused and productive.\r\n\r\nThe thin markers have also been a huge hit. Their size makes them easier for little hands to grip, helping students practice proper pencil-holding technique while writing letters and solving math problems. It's a small detail, but it's had a big impact on their handwriting and confidence.\r\n\r\nThe $100 Teachers Pay Teachers gift card has opened up exciting new possibilities for our lessons. I have been able to purchase activities that spark curiosity and joy. The students' enthusiasm is a direct result of your support.\r\n\r\nTo show their appreciation, each student wrote a personal thank-you card and drew a picture. Their messages—like \"You made our classroom more fun!\" and \"Thank you for helping our brains grow!\"—reflect the joy and gratitude they feel. Your kindness has made a lasting impression on their hearts and minds.","fullyFundedDate":1758856138270,"projectUrl":"project/scribble-solve-succeed-whiteboards-/9384936/","projectTitle":"Scribble, Solve, Succeed: Whiteboards & TPT Magic for 2nd Graders!”","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Girvan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1339719_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1653415336773","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/girvan"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_29815","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":426,"numTeachers":18,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":4,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":91,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":1,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"23.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":72.8,"schoolId":29815,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Sparks Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Sparks Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/hacienda-la-puente-usd/sparks-elementary-school/29815"}
