A reliable sharpener means no more wasted time or frustration with dull pencils. Students can write, draw, and complete assignments without interruption, which keeps lessons running smoothly. The students have already commented on how amazing this sharpener is.\r\n\r\nThe classroom maps will bring geography and social studies lessons to life. With both U.S. and world maps on display, students can see where events happen, locate states and countries, and make connections between what they read and the world around them. The maps will support lessons in history, science, and reading while also sparking curiosity about different places and cultures. I love being able to pull down this large map so even the students in the back of my classroom can see what I am referring to. \r\n\r\nI cannot thank you enough for this generous donation.","fullyFundedDate":1758842346779,"projectUrl":"project/maps-and-sharpener-for-mr-clark/9721032/","projectTitle":"Maps and Sharpener for Mr. Clark","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Clark","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3708610_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1470049494981","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/michael-clark"},{"teacherId":3708610,"projectId":9700050,"letterContent":"I can't thank you enough for your generous support in providing headphones and a storage container for my classroom. What may seem like simple supplies have had a huge impact on both my students' learning and my ability to teach effectively.\r\n\r\nAs a teacher of science and social studies, I often use interactive digital resources—whether it's virtual lab simulations, historical documentaries, or personalized learning programs. Before your donation, sharing headphones among students was chaotic and inefficient. Students struggled to hear audio clearly, and we lost valuable learning time trying to manage disorganized equipment.\r\n\r\nNow, thanks to your support, each student can engage fully with the material. The headphones have made independent learning stations, virtual field trips, and research assignments not only possible, but truly effective. Students are more focused, more engaged, and more confident when working independently.\r\n\r\nThese tools have helped create a more efficient, student-centered environment, where everyone can learn at their own pace without distractions. Your generosity has made a real, tangible difference in our classroom, and for that, I am incredibly grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1757683071141,"projectUrl":"project/headphones-for-mr-clarks-class/9700050/","projectTitle":"Headphones for Mr. Clark's Class","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Clark","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3708610_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1470049494981","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/michael-clark"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_61953","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":327,"numTeachers":36,"percentFrplEligible":52,"percentAsian":29,"percentBlack":9,"percentWhite":44,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":11,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 4","studentTeacherRatio":"9.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":82.1,"schoolId":61953,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Archie Morrison Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Archie Morrison Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/massachusetts/braintree-public-schools/archie-morrison-elementary-school/61953"}
