Going over benchmark data with kids is much more impactful when their reports are printed in color, the progress is easier to recognize, so the kids feel more accomplished when we have test talks. Kids won't understand how far they've come or how far they have to go if they don't understand where they're at currently. Your supplies help me accomplish this!\r\n\r\nAdditionally we do a lot of daily practice with tiny whiteboards, and having dry erase markers on hand is crucial! I personally prefer the fine tip markers you so kindly sent to us because kids can write more and explain their thinking better on such a small surface. As you can see in our photo package, we're working on reading and writing scientific formulas... and with your help, the kids are doing GREAT!\r\n\r\nThank you so much for supporting us!","fullyFundedDate":1767202998484,"projectUrl":"project/daily-necessities/9821678/","projectTitle":"Daily Necessities","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Tallman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2156043_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1490220493390","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/samantha-tallman"},{"teacherId":1107408,"projectId":9724280,"letterContent":"Watching my students flipping through the new Scholastic News or Science Spin brings me such joy! As an adult, I love having a new magazine to look through, dog ear the pages, and read leisurely. I now see my students doing the same thing! When they have free time, the majority of the students are reaching for these magazines.\r\n\r\nWith each passing week, I'm seeing students' curiosity increasing about topics they may never have noticed before. For example, when they read the Science Spin article about extinct animals, there was a classroom debate, followed up with paragraph writing to support their stance. I saw students using technology to research the animals mentioned in the article and sharing what they learned.\r\n\r\nHaving both of these magazines has been an incredible blessing for my students, and I am very grateful to all those who understand the benefits of giving students opportunities to learn!","fullyFundedDate":1758657916534,"projectUrl":"project/is-this-really-happening/9724280/","projectTitle":"Is This Really Happening?","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Elliott","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1107408_orig.jpg?crop=720,720,x180,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1556800222262","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1107408"},{"teacherId":2156043,"projectId":9591133,"letterContent":"The impact of these games is twofold. First, the learning that was happening in my room today was tangible. Kids were describing the useful energy as it transformed and traveled through the mouse trap, as well as the non-useful energy byproducts. They were able to clearly explain their understanding using the correct academic vocabulary and SEE the concept right in front of them. This is the practice round leading to them designing and building their OWN version, which they are now 100% excited to dive into thanks to your generosity. These games served every purpose I had hoped for months ago when posting this project.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, on a personal level, my kids have recently suffered the unthinkable. Two weeks ago, we lost one of our students in a tragic car accident. Our days have slowly began to lighten as we continue to work through our grief together. While the loss is still present in our hearts and minds, today filled my heart with joy. Watching my kids today... so engaged in learning that they were able to laugh and enjoy themselves while learning science & playing this classic 90's board game was pure magic. I will never have enough words to thank you for this moment.","fullyFundedDate":1759264779554,"projectUrl":"project/the-science-of-games/9591133/","projectTitle":"The Science of Games","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Tallman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2156043_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1490220493390","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/samantha-tallman"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_58143","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":731,"numTeachers":29,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":4,"percentBlack":7,"percentWhite":6,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":78,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":2,"gradesServed":"K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"25.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":67.4,"schoolId":58143,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Alhambra Traditional Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Alhambra Traditional Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/arizona/alhambra-elementary-school-district-68/alhambra-traditional-elementary-school/58143"}
