The face masks were all used, and it made a difference to see students feel comfortable asking for one when they needed it. The headphones were a huge help as well—every student was able to use a pair, either from the new set or from what we already had, which made our learning time more focused and productive. The hooks created a great organizational system, giving students a designated spot to hang their headphones using their number, which has helped keep our classroom tidy and efficient.\r\n\r\nThe primary lined paper has been used in so many meaningful activities. Whether practicing writing sentences or working through math problems, this resource has had a direct impact on improving my students' writing and academic skills. And of course—prizes! Having awards and small incentives has been a powerful motivator, helping students stay on task and do their best. Your support has truly enriched our classroom environment, and we are grateful for every item that has contributed to our success.","fullyFundedDate":1738294070339,"projectUrl":"project/1st-grade-supplies-for-fun-safety-org/8983206/","projectTitle":"1st Grade Supplies for Fun, Safety & Organization","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lewis","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9615495_orig.jpg?crop=1958,1958,x285,y399&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1722374271327","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9615495"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_107037","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":480,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":63,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":89,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":83.7,"schoolId":107037,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Benito Juarez Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Benito Juarez Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/west-contra-costa-unified-school-district/benito-juarez-elementary-richmond/107037"}
