Because of your kindness, we now have new sensory and gross motor movement materials that we are utilizing as part of our weekly preschool speech/language program. \r\n\r\nAs stated in our purpose of requesting these materials, children learn through engaging, moving and exploring their environment. These resources help our young learners explore, move, and engage in ways that support their growth and development. From building balance and coordination to calming sensory experiences, the materials create opportunities for children to learn through play while developing important skills for school and life.\r\n\r\nOur preschoolers are already showing how the cushions help them sit for story with more engagement and attention and their growing confidence and steadiness with the balance beam is already showing through after just a few opportunities. Your generosity is helping to create an environment where every child can thrive, and we are truly grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1742919607474,"projectUrl":"project/language-learning-through-sensory-and-mo/9008439/","projectTitle":"Language Learning through Sensory and Movement Play","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Sheri","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9875072"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_4762","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":354,"numTeachers":14,"percentFrplEligible":23,"percentAsian":51,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":5,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":35,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"25.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":78.6,"schoolId":4762,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Cadwallader Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Cadwallader Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/evergreen-school-district/cadwallader-elementary-school/4762"}
