My students and I are loving everything, and we use it all daily. When the students first saw the new rug, their faces lit up with excitement and they still comment daily on how soft and comfortable it is. \r\n All of these items have been more impactful than you know. The laminator is one of my personal favorites because it allows me to laminate things to use on AAC devices and also for various activities for my nonverbal students. My students' favorite items are the Magnatiles and fidget toys. We store the magnets in the large bin and keep them on a separate rug with cushions to sit on. Watching my students' creativity blossom is so rewarding to me. I use the items from the fidget toy bundle in the treasure box. Each session the students earn a sticker (with the opportunity to earn more stickers depending on the activity) and once they reach the star on their sticker chart, they are able to pick an item from the treasure box.\r\n We are extremely thankful for each and every item and for each and every sponsor of this project. We have enjoyed these items so far and I know they will bring enjoyment for the students for many years to come!","fullyFundedDate":1730735996595,"projectUrl":"project/speak-it-into-existence/8510341/","projectTitle":"Speak It Into Existence","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Haley","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9602020_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1721593966218","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9602020"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_50580","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":344,"numTeachers":27,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":26,"percentWhite":53,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":11,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"12.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":71.5,"schoolId":50580,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Jackson Road Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Jackson Road Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/georgia/griffin-spalding-county-school-district/jackson-road-elementary-school/50580"}
