When they saw all of their new things for their classroom, they were extremely eager to get everything open! They were very excited about the jumbo crayons which can help them with their fine motor skills. The scissors were also a big hit for the paras and myself because they like to cut just about anything but their paper!\r\n\r\nOne of our projects was an Easter activity where they had to use their donated crayons and scissors. They really enjoyed being able to firmly grasp the crayons and not snap them like a twig. their scissors glided super well on the paper they were using. \r\n\r\nAll around, they were thrilled to have some supplies tailored to their disabilities and needs. I loved watching them light up like it was Christmas.","fullyFundedDate":1743091329710,"projectUrl":"project/bear-necessities/9142609/","projectTitle":"Bear Necessities!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Saults","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7869690_orig.png?crop=1178,1178,x0,y62&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1687123646290","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/dsaults"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_72182","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":558,"numTeachers":45,"percentFrplEligible":71,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":30,"percentWhite":6,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":57,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"12.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":57.8,"schoolId":72182,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Poinciana Academy of Fine Arts on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Poinciana Academy of Fine Arts","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/the-school-district-of-osceola-county/poinciana-elementary-school/72182"}
