These supplies have significantly enhanced our students' learning experiences, particularly in Earth Science. The students were very excited to begin using the supplies right away.\r\n\r\nWith the art supplies, students have been able to creatively demonstrate their understanding of various Earth Science concepts. For instance, they created informative brochures to explain the three types of tectonic boundaries, showcasing their knowledge in an engaging and visually appealing manner.\r\n\r\nThe world globe has been an invaluable tool for our students. It has provided them with a tangible reference point when plotting locations on a flattened world map, helping them grasp the true spatial relationships between different places. A memorable example of this was when we used the globe to track the journey of rubber ducks from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic, as part of our study on ocean currents.\r\n\r\nThese donations have not only enriched our curriculum but also inspired our students to explore and understand the world around them in a more interactive and meaningful way. Thank you for your support in fostering a dynamic and creative learning environment.","fullyFundedDate":1731523841744,"projectUrl":"project/earth-science-artistic-supplies/8910374/","projectTitle":"Earth Science Artistic Supplies","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Levreault","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9820202"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_56193","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":984,"numTeachers":62,"percentFrplEligible":24,"percentAsian":4,"percentBlack":15,"percentWhite":62,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":11,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"15.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":75.8,"schoolId":56193,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Durham Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Durham Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/georgia/cobb-county-school-district/durham-middle-school/56193"}
