The magnetic boards and shapes have had an enormous, meaningful, and positive impact on my students. They have also added a new level of interest for many individuals while doing classroom centers. The items you donated have provided students with hands-on, tactile art options needed to support creativity, fine motor development, and spatial awareness. During art rotations, I do feel students are more engaged and focused, as they have a better understanding of their ability to make physical choices, experiment freely, and revise their work without fear of making mistakes.\r\n\r\nThe magnetic materials have been especially beneficial for younger learners and students who struggle with traditional drawing or painting. By offering an accessible, low-pressure way to explore composition and design, students have shown increased confidence, independence, and problem-solving skills. Overall, these donated items have enriched our school's art program by supporting diverse learning styles and fostering joyful, meaningful exploration experiences for all students. Each group of kids LOVES ending their art session with a bit of time to create with all the items you have caringly and generously provided. The students of Valley Center Primary School thank you!","fullyFundedDate":1757527555728,"projectUrl":"project/magnetic-masterpieces-hands-on-art-for/9674538/","projectTitle":"Magnetic Masterpieces: Hands-On Art for Young Creators","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Poole","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7607365_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1659584257551","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7607365"},{"teacherId":9656064,"projectId":8992429,"letterContent":"These resources have been an impactful addition to the classroom.
