Your generosity has brought so much excitement and meaningful learning into our room!\r\n\r\nWe are using the magnetic alphabet every day during our phonics block. Students build CVC words on magnetic.\r\nThe magnetic toys have also been wonderful for hands-on learning and fine motor development. During centers, students use them to explore shapes, patterns, and teamwork. They collaborate to build designs, which encourages communication and problem-solving skills.\r\n\r\nOur flower toys have been a big hit during math lessons. The excitement in the room was amazing—they were learning without even realizing how much math they were doing!\r\n\r\nFor writing alphabet practice, students are strengthening their handwriting skills daily. They trace, write, and practice forming letters correctly, which supports both reading and writing development. I have already noticed improvement in letter formation and confidence when students write independently.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials first arrived, the students' faces lit up. They were so eager to explore and kept asking when they could start using everything. They truly felt special knowing that caring donors made this possible for them.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nYour generosity is helping my students grow academically and emotionally. Thank you for investing in their learning and for being such an important part of our classroom community.","fullyFundedDate":1772036842487,"projectUrl":"project/center-time-that-builds-skills/10059881/","projectTitle":"Center Time That Builds Skills","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Leve","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9622010_orig.jpg?crop=1546,1546,x26,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754235407801","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/leve"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_97358","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":209,"numTeachers":37,"percentFrplEligible":64,"percentAsian":48,"percentBlack":23,"percentWhite":14,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":4,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"5.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":71.2,"schoolId":97358,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Manara Academy - Irving Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Manara Academy - Irving Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/texas-department-of-education/manara-academy/97358"}
