I always try to go above and beyond for my students to make sure my classroom feels like home and your donations have made an incredible difference in my classroom and in the lives of my students. Because of your kindness, my students now have a space where they feel comfortable, supported, and excited to learn each day. \r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw my classroom, they were in awe. And seeing the supplies that were provided, from the simple but essential gift of printer sticker paper for their science notebooks, to the whiteboard markers so they can interact with a whiteboard activity, even down to the snacks that were for winning review games and energy, help keep students focused when resources are limited at home, every contribution has mattered. These items may seem small, but in our classroom, they have created a sense of stability, belonging, and care. My students know that there are people, people they may never meet, who believe in their potential and want to see them thrive.\r\n\r\nMy students future goals in Life Science is to learn more about our world through understanding where we stand in it. We will learn more about evolution and the classifications of organisms in our environment and even have a field trip in March to our local living museum! \r\n\r\nYour support has helped lift a huge weight off my shoulders as a teacher. Instead of worrying about how to provide basic supplies, I can focus my energy on creating meaningful learning experiences. Most importantly, my students walk into a classroom where they feel seen, supported, and valued.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping us build a learning environment filled with comfort, curiosity, and hope. Your generosity has truly made a huge impact, and we are so grateful for you.","fullyFundedDate":1754961115010,"projectUrl":"project/ms-bs-green-oasis/9572284/","projectTitle":"Ms. B’s Green Oasis","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Baber","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10167601_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754866393133","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10167601"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_34831","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":785,"numTeachers":64,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":70,"percentWhite":7,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":14,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"12.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":25.7,"schoolId":34831,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Crittenden Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Crittenden Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/virginia/newport-news-public-schools/crittenden-middle-school/34831"}
