Your donation has made my classroom more complete. Having enough glue sticks has been key for fun lessons with gluing paper shapes. The blocks have been a great activity for students who finish their art projects and want to build. \r\n Having the magnetic blocks as an extra activity for the students who are more independent gives me more time to help less independent students. Some of my students create large structures and others work on fine motor skills of putting the blocks together and taking them apart. Sorting the blocks is also a favorite activity. Some students choose to sort them and put them away by color and others really like sorting them by shape. \r\n Your support helped make it possible for me to give these special students an art program that is tailored to their interests and skill set. Thank you for helping me create an environment that gives these students an opportunity to explore and express themselves through art.","fullyFundedDate":1733334730105,"projectUrl":"project/magnetic-blocks-are-a-classroom-favorite/8941888/","projectTitle":"Magnetic Blocks Are a Classroom Favorite!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Chrisanthy Vargo","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8913566_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1689025115037","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8913566"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_56210","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":2239,"numTeachers":121,"percentFrplEligible":52,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":9,"percentWhite":49,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":34,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"18.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":60.0,"schoolId":56210,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Olympic Heights Community High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Olympic Heights Community High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/palm-beach-county-public-schools/olympic-heights-community-high-school/56210"}
