The Magna-Tiles are inspiring creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork as students build and explore. The counting toys are helping strengthen early math skills in a hands-on and engaging way. Our new texture table tools and sensory sand are providing rich sensory experiences that support fine motor development, exploration, and imaginative play.\r\n\r\nYour generosity is helping create a classroom environment where students can learn through play, discovery, and meaningful interaction. These experiences are essential in early childhood education, and we are truly grateful for the opportunities you have provided.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in our students and supporting their growth and learning. Your contribution is making a difference every day.","fullyFundedDate":1769384217181,"projectUrl":"project/tiny-hands-big-learning/9974735/","projectTitle":"Tiny Hands, Big Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Terra","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8566469_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1659639308633","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8566469"},{"teacherId":8655551,"projectId":9369528,"letterContent":"On behalf of the students and myself, please accept our deepest gratitude for your generous donation of STEM supplies to our self-contained special education classroom. Your support has transformed our learning environment and the way our students experience discovery.\r\nOur classroom serves amazing students aged 5 to 10 with diverse learning needs. Their true breakthroughs happen through tactile, hands-on, and sensory experiences. Prior to your donation, we were struggling with limited resources, but the new tools you provided have immediately changed that reality.\r\nThe impact has been nothing short of inspiring. We're already seeing incredible engagement with the new materials, such as the simple circuit kits and magnetic building tiles. These supplies aren't just toys; they are essential instruments for developing critical skills:\r\nCommunication & Collaboration: When students work together to build a structure or figure out why a light won't turn on, they are practicing vital social and communication skills—asking for help, sharing pieces, and expressing frustration or success.\r\nProblem-Solving: The new materials allow for productive failure. A tower falls down, and they have to analyze why. This builds the foundation for logical thinking and resilience.\r\nFine Motor Development: Manipulating the various blocks, kitchen supplies, and components strengthens the hand muscles needed for future writing and self-help skills.\r\nThe look of pure joy and pride on a student's face when they finally complete a challenge—whether it's coding a small robot to move two steps forward or successfully creating a stable magnetic sphere—is the true measure of your impact. You didn't just donate supplies; you invested in accessible learning and empowering our students to be curious, capable investigators.\r\nThank you again for believing in our students and providing them with the high-quality, engaging tools they deserve. You are shaping a future where every child has the chance to be a scientist, an engineer, and a confident problem-solver.","fullyFundedDate":1750961993059,"projectUrl":"project/learning-and-beyond/9369528/","projectTitle":"Learning and Beyond!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Teitelbaum","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8655551"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_45016","uses�ǿմ�ý":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":461,"numTeachers":33,"percentFrplEligible":46,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":36,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":53,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"14.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":72.2,"schoolId":45016,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Irving Elementary School on @�ǿմ�ý:","schoolName":"Irving Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/arizona/mesa-public-schools/irving-elementary-school/45016"}
