The materials you gifted us were so helpful in many activities. The students are prepared, have pride in their school supplies, and are eager to learn. The kids had such a great time unboxing the materials. They were like \"oooohhhh! This is nice!!\" \r\n\r\nThe kids who were unboxing were glad to start making up some pencil pouches for themselves and others. They made sure they had everything they needed for their classes. I have had a lot of artists this year so they have really added color and flair to their assignments. I am so glad to see them using their imaginations and being creative. \r\n\r\nI am always thankful and the kids know that these donations were intentional and for them.

Your contributions have made a meaningful difference in how our students experience reading, and we wanted to share some of the incredible things happening because of you.\r\n With these new books, our students are developing essential reading skills like comprehension, critical thinking, and vocabulary expansion. Many of our lessons now include deep discussions about themes, character development, and connections to real-world experiences. For example, when reading \"Wonder,\" students practiced making inferences and identifying the author's purpose, which helped them think beyond the words on the page.\r\n Reading in our classroom is dynamic and interactive. We use a mix of independent reading, small group discussions, and whole-class read-a louds to ensure students engage with texts in different ways. The excitement is contagious—students eagerly recommend books to one another, and some have even started their own book discussion groups during free time!","fullyFundedDate":1739565434464,"projectUrl":"project/i-wonder-how-others-are-feeling/8992504/","projectTitle":"I \"Wonder\" How Others Are Feeling?","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. S","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7868100_orig.jpg?crop=648,648,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1742598387448","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7868100"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_45470","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":906,"numTeachers":48,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":5,"percentWhite":79,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":8,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"18.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":74.3,"schoolId":45470,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Crystal River Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Crystal River Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/citrus-county-school-district/crystal-river-middle-school/45470"}
