The sensory materials give students opportunities to practice fine-motor skills, problem-solving, and self-regulation while having fun. One of my favorite moments has been watching students work together to explore the different toys, share materials, and talk about what they notice and feel.\r\n\r\nThey were so excited! The students immediately wanted to touch, explore, and try out the new sensory toys. They were especially excited to have new materials to investigate and enjoyed showing their friends how the different toys worked. It was wonderful to see their curiosity and excitement!\r\n\r\nOur next step is to continue incorporating the sensory toys into our daily classroom routines and learning centers. We will encourage students to use the materials while practicing language, fine-motor skills, sharing, and problem-solving. As our TK students become more familiar with the resources, we will also encourage them to make choices about which sensory tools help them feel comfortable, focused, and ready to learn.","fullyFundedDate":1778611083809,"projectUrl":"project/sensory-toys-for-tkers/10264575/","projectTitle":"Sensory Toys for TKers","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Kylie","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9583593"},{"teacherId":665234,"projectId":9394323,"letterContent":"When I told my students we were receiving new art supplies, the classroom cheered! That moment of excitement was just the beginning of the creativity and joy you've helped spark.\r\n\r\nThanks to your generous support, my students now have access to new watercolor sets, fresh brushes & sponges, toothy paper, and rich oil pastels. No more digging through murky bins trying to find the right shade of blue—we now have organized, complete sets that make creating art more accessible and fun.\r\n\r\nOne of the biggest surprises has been the paint sticks. I had never used them before, and neither had my students. We were amazed by how smoothly they glide on paper—and even more impressed that they dry so quickly without any smearing. They've added a whole new layer of possibility to our projects.\r\n\r\nBut what we are most excited about are the brand-new skin-tone crayons. For the first time, all of my students can accurately represent themselves and their communities in their artwork. As an educator, I'm incredibly relieved and grateful to be able to give my students the tools to see themselves reflected in their own creations.\r\n\r\nArt is so much more than paint on paper—it's a way for students to express themselves when words aren't enough. It's also how they explore the world, connect with others, and find pride in who they are. Your donation has given them the tools to do just that.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in our classroom and in the power of self-expression. We are so grateful!","fullyFundedDate":1750789261017,"projectUrl":"project/art-is-essential/9394323/","projectTitle":"Art Is Essential","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Wilburn","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp665234_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1507753284249","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/nwilburn"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_5015","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":456,"numTeachers":26,"percentFrplEligible":46,"percentAsian":69,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":2,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":20,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":6,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"17.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":82.2,"schoolId":5015,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Burnett Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Burnett Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/milpitas-unified-school-district/burnett-elementary-school/5015"}
