Your generosity has already made a meaningful difference for our Transitional Kindergarten students.\r\n\r\nWe have begun using several of the materials you helped provide, including the Light Table Sensory Tray, Foam Sensory Paint, Wiggle Googly Eyes, and Light Blue Colored Sand. These items have been wonderful additions to our classroom and have created exciting opportunities for hands-on learning.\r\n\r\nOur sensory discovery tray has been especially popular during our classroom themes. During our transportation unit, students explored digging and building using the construction vehicles. In our winter theme, students loved playing and experimenting with fake snow, which sparked lots of curiosity and imaginative play. Currently, during our animal theme, students are using the sensory tray to build wild animal habitats, which encourages creativity, problem solving, and conversations about where animals live.\r\n\r\nThe materials like foam sensory paint and googly eyes have also been used for creative art projects, helping students strengthen fine motor skills and express their imagination.\r\n\r\nWhile we have already enjoyed many of the items, we look forward to incorporating the remaining materials throughout the rest of the school year. Your support helps create a classroom environment where young learners can explore, create, and grow through hands-on experiences.\r\n\r\nOn behalf of my students and our classroom community, thank you for investing in our young learners. Your kindness and generosity truly make a difference.","fullyFundedDate":1763180678421,"projectUrl":"project/building-dexterity-through-discovery-a/9824787/","projectTitle":"Building Dexterity Through Discovery: A Fine Motor Exploration Project","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Kennedy","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2327790_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1477779728121","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/dkennedy"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_74993","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":998,"numTeachers":33,"percentFrplEligible":53,"percentAsian":23,"percentBlack":6,"percentWhite":20,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":43,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"30.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":94.3,"schoolId":74993,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Walter E Woodward Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Walter E Woodward Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/manteca-unified-school-district/walter-e-woodward-elementary-school/74993"}
