With your generous donation, I was able to purchase age-appropriate resources and materials to support teaching about social-emotional growth. The students especially enjoyed the Spots of Emotion book series. As young learners, they are already using their new skills in real, everyday situations.\r\nThese materials are especially wonderful because they will carry us through the entire year. Emotional intelligence is such a powerful trait, and I believe in planting the seeds as early as possible. When young children are given the right tools, they gain confidence, empathy, and resilience, which are essential for both academic learning and lifelong well-being.","fullyFundedDate":1758819968459,"projectUrl":"project/growing-hearts-and-minds-social-emotio/9658156/","projectTitle":"“Growing Hearts and Minds: Social Emotional Learning in Early Childhood","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Cha","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10228292"},{"teacherId":9553192,"projectId":9138887,"letterContent":"When our Hands-On Learning for Growing Minds resources arrived, students were immediately engaged and eager to explore. The connecting block toys quickly became a collaborative learning tool, encouraging teamwork and communication as students created patterns and worked together to create something new. This hands-on activity naturally reinforced early math and literacy concepts, as students used descriptive vocabulary to compare sizes and practice spatial awareness. Similarly, the play dough provided a highly effective way for students to strengthen fine motor skills while forming letters, numbers, and shapes. Several students who typically hesitate with pencil-and-paper tasks were more motivated to participate, practicing foundational writing skills in a developmentally appropriate and enjoyable way.\r\nThe liquid sensory toys have been equally impactful in supporting classroom routines and self-regulation. Upon their introduction, students were fascinated by the colors and movement, and these tools have since become an essential part of our calm corner. By using them during transitions or moments of frustration, students are better able to manage emotions and refocus on their learning tasks.\r\nLooking ahead, we will continue to integrate these resources into daily instruction. Play dough will be used to support sight word and number recognition, while block play will extend into storytelling projects where students build a scene and then describe or write about it. These materials have created new opportunities for my students to stay engaged, practice critical skills, and experience success across content areas. Your generosity has provided not only tools, but meaningful learning experiences that will continue to shape their growth throughout the year.","fullyFundedDate":1746785639426,"projectUrl":"project/hands-on-learning-for-growing-minds-sen/9138887/","projectTitle":"Hands-On Learning for Growing Minds: Sensory and Literacy Tools","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Magdaleno","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9553192_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1740973698760","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9553192"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_38404","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":397,"numTeachers":22,"percentFrplEligible":94,"percentAsian":7,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":9,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":75,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"18.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":66.7,"schoolId":38404,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Oneonta Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Oneonta Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/south-bay-union-school-district/oneonta-elementary-school/38404"}
