My students have been able to print their essays and have been able to publish writings in their classroom library. \r\n\r\nThe students also have the availability to print their assessments to take home to their parents to show how they do and what areas to work on with their families at home. Many of our students are visual learners and work best when their work is on paper rather than on a device. In addition, students tend to perform better when they are able to use rest taking strategies such as underlining and circling main parts of the question stems. Thank you again for your kind donations.","fullyFundedDate":1755729838313,"projectUrl":"project/help-us-stay-inkspired/9570885/","projectTitle":"Help Us Stay Inkspired!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Curbelo","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2108725_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1534360555882","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-curbelo"},{"teacherId":5716832,"projectId":9563629,"letterContent":"When my students saw the new chairs that were added to our classroom they flipped! These chairs are used as an incentive in my room for students who want to sit in them to complete their work if they have enough class dojo points. With the addition of the chairs, students are super motivated to do their work, behave, and earn points to earn the opportunity to use them! They have brought a lot of excitement to our class. \r\n\r\nStudents were also very curious about the tennis balls that were added to the bottoms of the chairs and desks. They asked why they were there and we discussed what the benefits of them are. Together, students came to the conclusion that when they glide along the floor there is a lot less noise. Others also pointed out that they even sort of clean the floor as they slide along because the fuzzy texture helps sweep away the dirt. The floors have looked spectacular! Everyone from custodians to administrators who have come by the classroom have remarked about how nice they look and how nice they keep the floor looking. \r\n\r\nI am excited and so thankful for these donations to my classroom. Just these few small changes are already making a world of difference in creating a great learning atmosphere. We have a quiet, clean, and welcoming space that really lays the foundation for how I want my students to feel when they come to school. I could not have done this without those of you who donated and I want to once again say THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart.","fullyFundedDate":1754876772593,"projectUrl":"project/quiet-seats-focused-minds-a-classroom/9563629/","projectTitle":"Quiet Seats, Focused Minds: A Classroom Makeover","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Dean","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5716832_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1534550503640","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5716832"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_103140","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1063,"numTeachers":48,"percentFrplEligible":56,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":3,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":93,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"22.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":83.4,"schoolId":103140,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Academy for Innovative Education on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Academy for Innovative Education","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/miami-dade-county-public-schools/aie-charter-schoolmiami-springs/103140"}
