It will be helpful not having to carry them around and trying to juggle when I used them between schools. Now I can leave one at each of my primary schools. Since I have less in each group than a set has, I will be able to leave 1-2 in my car if I have to add my 4th school back. These are already proving invaluable in helping my students across grade levels in learning phonemic awareness and other reading skills.","fullyFundedDate":1766542205473,"projectUrl":"project/science-of-reading-word-work-tools-for/9896189/","projectTitle":"Science of Reading: Word-Work Tools for Success","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Erskine","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp49399_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1572648066036","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/karen-erskine"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_6909","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":483,"numTeachers":38,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":34,"percentWhite":47,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":5,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"12.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":49.6,"schoolId":6909,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Buffalo Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Buffalo Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/south-carolina/union-county-school-district/buffalo-elementary-school/6909"}
