Pencils, erasers, colored pencils, and sharpeners help ensure that every student has the basic tools they need to participate fully in class. The Clorox wipes help us keep our classroom clean and ready for learning. One special moment was watching my students work on a class activity where they were able to use their colored pencils to add detail and creativity to their work. Having these supplies available allowed everyone to participate without worrying about whether they had the materials they needed.\r\n\r\n My students were so excited! They loved seeing the new supplies and were especially excited about having fresh pencils, colorful pencils, and erasers available to use. They immediately wanted to organize and use everything. It was a simple reminder that having the right tools can make students feel prepared, confident, and excited to learn.\r\n\r\n Our next steps are to continue using these materials throughout our daily learning. Students will use their pencils and colored pencils for writing, annotating texts, creating models, and completing hands-on activities. We will continue working toward becoming independent learners who take pride in their work and take care of the resources they have been given. We are so grateful to our donors for helping make our classroom a place where every student has the tools they need to learn and succeed!","fullyFundedDate":1787177335131,"projectUrl":"project/restocking-classroom-essentials/10246109/","projectTitle":"Restocking Classroom Essentials","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Havenar","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9554839_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1722129125795","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/thavenar"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_13959","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1027,"numTeachers":63,"percentFrplEligible":56,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":19,"percentWhite":66,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":8,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":3,"gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"16.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":56.9,"schoolId":13959,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Central Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Central Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/louisiana/central-community-school-district/central-middle-school/13959"}
