Because of your donations, my students now have access to high-quality learning tools. Your contributions funded a wide range of meaningful materials—magnetic letters for phonics and beginning reading, durable storage solutions to keep our room organized, sensory tools like stacking rocks, stepping stones, and magnetic building blocks, as well as vibrant tempera paint sticks to fuel creativity. You also gifted us engaging sound books that will help develop early literacy, language, and a love for stories.\r\n\r\nThese resources have already made an impact on my students, many of whom learn best through hands-on, sensory-rich experiences. Thanks to you, they are able to explore new concepts, strengthen motor and cognitive skills, and develop confidence in a welcoming, well-resourced learning environment.\r\n\r\nYour kindness truly makes our classroom a brighter place.

My students have truly enjoyed engaging with the materials that were purchased. I work with special needs students with varying disabilities. Many of them require sensory breaks throughout the day. Thanks to your donations, my students have been able to engage in sensory play with new and fun materials. Their favorite by far has been the ice cream sensory sand. They can't get enough of it!\r\n\r\nThe theme for this school year has been \"Confetti, Make it Sparkle\". Everything in my class is confetti themed. Due to many of my students requiring a structured classroom setting, I try to make the classroom as organized as possible. They thrive in consistent and structured environment. I was so pleased to receive your materials to support this. The confetti treasure box is so lovely and the students work each day to earn a special item from the treasure box. Thank you so much for all you do in helping make a difference in so many classrooms and students like mine.","fullyFundedDate":1724171101664,"projectUrl":"project/bright-beginnings-with-classroom-basics/8670443/","projectTitle":"Bright Beginnings with Classroom Basics","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Rodrigiez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9684906"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_67084","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":706,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":47,"percentAsian":4,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":30,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":58,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":75.8,"schoolId":67084,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Twin Oaks Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Twin Oaks Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/san-marcos-unified-school-district/twin-oaks-elementary-school/67084"}
