Thanks to your donation, my students now have access to essential tools that support their learning, regulation, and communication. When the new materials arrived, my students' faces lit up with curiosity and excitement—they couldn't wait to use them!\r\n\r\nOne of the most meaningful moments so far has been seeing how these resources are helping students who typically struggle with foundational skills like writing and reading comprehension. With the addition of adaptive tools and sensory supports, students who previously avoided literacy tasks are now more engaged and motivated. For example, students who have been struggling with writing have been able to use magnetic letters to spell words. \r\n\r\nThese materials have become an essential part of our daily routine. We use sensory tools to create a calm, focused environment, adaptive seating to support attention, and hands-on materials to make abstract concepts more accessible. Your donation didn't just provide resources—it opened doors to learning for students who need a little extra support to thrive.\r\n\r\nAs we continue our play-based and individualized approach to learning, we're building on this momentum to strengthen our students' confidence and independence in reading and writing. Every day, I see more progress and more smiles.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in our students and investing in their potential. Your generosity is helping create a classroom where every child feels supported, capable, and excited to learn.","fullyFundedDate":1733265743382,"projectUrl":"project/ms-navas-pre-kkinder-play-based-class/8713603/","projectTitle":"Ms. Nava's Pre-K/Kinder Play-Based Classroom Resources","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Nava","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9713168_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1725732794279","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9713168"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_92954","uses�ǿմ�ý":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":507,"numTeachers":21,"percentFrplEligible":34,"percentAsian":36,"percentBlack":4,"percentWhite":27,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":20,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"24.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":89.3,"schoolId":92954,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about University Park Elementary School on @�ǿմ�ý:","schoolName":"University Park Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/irvine-unified-school-district/university-park-elementary-school/92954"}
