Our students work incredibly hard every day, and we wanted their new classroom to feel like a place that was made with them in mind. After moving to a new campus, many of our students are adjusting to new surroundings while leaving behind familiar classrooms, routines, and friends. These resources are helping us create a welcoming, organized space where they can feel comfortable, supported, and ready to learn.\r\n\r\nThe new instructional materials will give us more opportunities for hands-on learning and small-group instruction, while the storage and organizational tools will help our students build independence and take ownership of their learning environment. Our self-regulation area will give students a safe place to pause, reset, and practice coping strategies. We are especially excited about the mirror, which we hope will become a daily reminder for our students to see themselves with the same confidence and potential that we see in them. Thank you for helping us create a classroom where our students can learn, grow, and truly feel that they belong.","fullyFundedDate":1785167254377,"projectUrl":"project/growing-great-minds-a-fresh-start-for-s/10357588/","projectTitle":"Growing Great Minds: A Fresh Start for Student Success!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Tanabe","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10534009"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_16352","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":563,"numTeachers":30,"percentFrplEligible":77,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":6,"percentWhite":6,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":84,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":1,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"18.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":66.7,"schoolId":16352,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Dr Joseph E.
