Because of you, our kindergarten students now have access to fine motor toys and emotional regulation tools that are making a meaningful difference every single day.\r\n\r\nThe fine motor toys have become an essential part of our learning centers. They are helping students strengthen their hand muscles, improve coordination, and develop the dexterity they need for writing, cutting, and other daily tasks. What might look like play is actually powerful learning—our kids are building confidence with every snap, twist, and squeeze.\r\n\r\nJust as important are the emotional regulation tools you've provided. These resources give our young learners a safe and constructive way to recognize and manage big feelings. With items like sensory bottles, calming corners, and fidget tools, students are learning how to take a moment, breathe, and rejoin the group with a clearer mind and calmer heart. These skills are not only helping them succeed in the classroom, but also setting the foundation for a lifetime of emotional well-being.\r\n\r\nThanks to your kindness, our classroom is a more inclusive, supportive, and joyful place to learn. Your donation didn't just provide materials—it helped nurture growing minds and hearts.","fullyFundedDate":1723641943674,"projectUrl":"project/ms-lillys-class-needs-fine-motor-and-e/8596746/","projectTitle":"Ms. Lilly's Class Needs Fine Motor and Emotional Regulation Tools!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lilly","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9175080_orig.jpg?crop=650,650,x0,y47&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1723135263033","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9175080"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_59876","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":539,"numTeachers":27,"percentFrplEligible":39,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":10,"percentWhite":72,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":6,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"20.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":89.2,"schoolId":59876,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Maple Grove Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Maple Grove Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/iowa/cedar-rapids-community-school-district/jackson-elementary-school/59876"}
