My kindergartners have been using their white board markers and writing sleeves almost every day! They were so excited to see all of the different colors of writing sleeves. We use the writing sleeves to practice writing our numbers and will use them throughout the school year for all sorts of subject areas.\r\nThe markers are great for our kinders little growing hands. They are able to hold them like a pencil and practice writing their letters and numbers. They will continue to use these to practice all of their writing, including letter formation, words, and then sentences. My kindergartners are able to use the spray donated to practice and learn how to clean and take care of their materials as well. They love being able to practice independence spritzing their white boards or writing sleeves. Thank you for bringing such important essentials to my kindergarten students this year, I can't wait to see them continue to flourish and learn with these gifts.","fullyFundedDate":1785167232171,"projectUrl":"project/writing-essentials/10404271/","projectTitle":"Writing Essentials","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Weidner","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10559649_orig.jpg?crop=1080,1080,x0,y28&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1784815132012","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10559649"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_29677","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":303,"numTeachers":28,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":47,"percentWhite":24,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":7,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":20,"gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"10.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":76.3,"schoolId":29677,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Sheridan Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Sheridan Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/illinois/bloomington-school-district-87/sheridan-elementary-school/29677"}
