This concept is extremely important in education. The items we received have greatly impacted our classroom.\r\n\r\nOur class was so excited to get the deliveries. We put the items to use right away. They use the headphones daily to interact with their reading programs on the computer. They practice their reading and listening skills. It has really helped them progress and improve their skills. We used the bags to store our headphones at our tables. This is helpful because we do not have a place to store them and keep them safe. This way they are ready to use and easy to get to. The small pencils have been very handy with students who struggle the hand writing. It helps them grip the pencil correctly and add the right amount of pressure to write letters on the paper. \r\n\r\nYour amazing donations have greatly impacted our classroom. Your kindness and generosity are immensely appreciated.","fullyFundedDate":1760931150529,"projectUrl":"project/off-to-a-great-start/9511468/","projectTitle":"Off to a Great Start","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Rice","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2350641_orig.jpg?crop=708,708,x0,y103&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1648152651473","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-rice1stgrade"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_52871","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":599,"numTeachers":38,"percentFrplEligible":57,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":6,"percentWhite":10,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":76,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"15.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":80.9,"schoolId":52871,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Villa De Paz Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Villa De Paz Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/arizona/pendergast-elementary-school-district/villa-de-paz-elementary-school/52871"}
