The whiteboards, markers, erasers, magnetic letter tracer, crayons, stickers, scissors, and other supplies have truly enriched our learning environment. Our students have been especially excited to use the new multicultural crayons, allowing them to represent themselves in their artwork with pride. One student beamed with joy as they carefully selected a crayon that matched their skin tone, saying, \"Look! This one looks just like me!\" Moments like these remind us how powerful these simple tools can be in helping children feel seen and valued.\r\n\r\nThe whiteboards and magnetic letter tracing board have made learning even more engaging. Students eagerly practice their letters, excitedly showing their work to their peers and myself as their teacher. With the new scissors, we've been able to do more hands-on crafts that reinforce our lessons—whether it's cutting out shapes to learn about geometry or creating art projects that connect to our stories. These supplies have helped foster creativity, fine motor skills, and a deeper love of learning in our young students. Thank you for your generosity and support in helping our little learners grow!","fullyFundedDate":1735607793882,"projectUrl":"project/learning-tools-upgrade/8910010/","projectTitle":"Learning Tools Upgrade!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Bejarano","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9820016"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_61334","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":434,"numTeachers":31,"percentFrplEligible":12,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":52,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":36,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"14.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":50.0,"schoolId":61334,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Ventana Vista Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Ventana Vista Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/arizona/catalina-foothills-unified-school-district-16/ventana-vista-elementary-school/61334"}
