One student exclaimed, \"It's like a dream came true!\" We immediately put the resources to use in a hands-on agriculture project where students planted seeds, tracked growth, and learned about the food cycle. Watching them take ownership of their learning—measuring soil, observing sprouting plants, and recording daily changes—was truly inspiring.\r\n\r\nThese resources have transformed our classroom into an active, engaging learning environment. Next, we'll be expanding into animal studies—connecting what we've learned about plants to the role of animals in agriculture. Students are eager to build model farms, study habitats, and understand the balance of nature.","fullyFundedDate":1738006756817,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-items/9081567/","projectTitle":"Classroom Items","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hildebrandt","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9781697_orig.jpg?crop=866,866,x1612,y665&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1733092596698","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9781697"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_133949","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":441,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":64,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":48,"percentWhite":21,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":7,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 6","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Record","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":75.0,"schoolId":133949,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Dothan Sixth Grade Center on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Dothan Sixth Grade Center","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/alabama/dothan-city-school-district/dothan-sixth-grade-center/133949"}
