I truly appreciate your support. My students were all thrilled with the materials and sensory items. \r\n\r\nWe are working on a variety of projects right now. Some of my younger students are using the nonhardening memory foam to create shapes and compare sizes. They love the foam beads and are using a lot of language during this task. \r\nSeveral of my older groups are enjoying the Pet Vet Center and examining the included dog based off the vet checklist. Students TK-5 LOVE the Create-A-Burger Sequencing Stacker and often ask to use it during our sessions. \r\n\r\nI am planning to continue to use the sensory items with all students since they help to keep everyone engaged and their hands busy. We will also work on making a checklist to go along with the board game-What Would You Do-A Game of Consequences.","fullyFundedDate":1734489445606,"projectUrl":"project/building-communication-skills/8707045/","projectTitle":"Building Communication Skills","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. A.","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7240631_orig.png?crop=333,333,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1724700355367","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/holly-angstadt"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_28398","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":318,"numTeachers":15,"percentFrplEligible":62,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":3,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":88,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"21.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":64.7,"schoolId":28398,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Mill School and Technology Academy on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Mill School and Technology Academy","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/whittier-city-school-district/mill-school/28398"}
