Before these supplies arrived, some of my kindergarteners were hesitant to engage in fine motor activities or expressed frustration when practicing their letters. Now, the atmosphere has shifted completely. The writing journals have turned a daily lesson into an exciting milestone; students take immense pride in \"filling their books\" and are showing remarkable growth in their early literacy skills.\r\nThe most profound change occurs during our art sessions. The watercolor paints have introduced a sense of calm and mindfulness to our day. Watching twenty-five kindergarteners paint in focused silence while music plays is a testament to how the right resources can soothe and engage young minds. Furthermore, the vibrant markers have served as a \"bridge\" for my more reluctant learners. Students who previously avoided coloring tasks are now eager to participate, building their hand strength and confidence through art. Your generosity has provided more than just supplies; you have provided the tools for my students to see themselves as writers and artists.","fullyFundedDate":1764724327223,"projectUrl":"project/tiny-hands-big-art-building-fine-motor/9915812/","projectTitle":"Tiny Hands, Big Art: Building Fine Motor Skills with Creativity","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Adams","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5185439_orig.png?crop=398,398,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1656262965920","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5185439"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_32510","uses�ǿմ�ý":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":486,"numTeachers":23,"percentFrplEligible":53,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":5,"percentWhite":27,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":59,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"21.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":66.6,"schoolId":32510,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Desert Willow Elementary School on @�ǿմ�ý:","schoolName":"Desert Willow Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/arizona/casa-grande-elementary-school-district-4/desert-willow-elementary-school/32510"}
