We unpacked the boxes and they had smiles on their faces. Each themed box was opened. We looked at the each of material inside the boxes. They were very interested in seeing the contents. Later that week we used the themed box that was for the 5 Senses. The box contained something for each of the senses. The student enjoyed doing the enclosed taste test. Included were packets of honey for sweet and lemon juice for sour and etc. One student even said \"sweet\", this was a new word we had never heard her say before. The material did exactly what I intended it to do and that was to promote language. The boxes are great they provide a variety of hands on materials for my student and that will help promote further language development.","fullyFundedDate":1735059154035,"projectUrl":"project/communication-communication/8976376/","projectTitle":"Communication, Communication!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Tracy","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9301424_orig.jpg?crop=1433,1433,x563,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1732897806998","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9301424"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_104174","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":519,"numTeachers":30,"percentFrplEligible":68,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":11,"percentWhite":58,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":17,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"17.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":69.2,"schoolId":104174,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Locust Grove Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Locust Grove Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/virginia/orange-county-school-district/locust-grove-elementary-school/104174"}
