They have been using them with their name tracing and have really liked using these instead of the flimsy page protectors that I was using. They trace their name when they finish their work early. They also have a zip-loc baggie in which they have their dry erase marker and a black sock used as an eraser and they keep all the items in their desk.\r\n\r\n I also use the dry erase pouches in my writing stations and for fine motor practice. The kids will practice tracing all kinds of lines and handwriting strokes. They also practice tracing letters, numbers and shapes. I have plenty of pouches to have a set for the individual letters, numbers and shapes so I don't have to take the pages out to reuse the pouches for another activity. This really does save me a lot of time. \r\n\r\n These pouches are so useful and handy and help make our daily routines easier. It really is a win win for me and the kids and we truly thank all you generous donors from the bottom of our hearts.","fullyFundedDate":1730396496064,"projectUrl":"project/fantastic-fine-motor-practice-with-color/8894727/","projectTitle":"Fantastic Fine Motor Practice With Colorful Dry Erase Pouches","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Dean","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7243999_orig.jpg?crop=480,480,x0,y27&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1622479214072","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7243999"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_15434","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":615,"numTeachers":37,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":18,"percentWhite":36,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":39,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 4","studentTeacherRatio":"16.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":85.0,"schoolId":15434,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about East Side Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"East Side Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/jacksonville-independent-school-district/east-side-elementary-school/15434"}
