Because of your kindness, we now have supplies that help make our classroom more functional, organized, and engaging for every student.\r\n\r\nThe clear protectors, whiteboard markers, and whiteboard erasers have become an important part of our daily math instruction. My students use them to solve equations, practice showing their work, and work collaboratively with their classmates. These supplies give students opportunities to practice math in a hands-on way while building confidence in their problem-solving skills.\r\n\r\nThe storage cart has also made a tremendous difference in keeping our classroom organized. I have been able to label the cart in both English and Spanish, which has been especially helpful because the majority of my students are bilingual. Having an organized and accessible classroom allows my students to find what they need and helps create a learning environment where everyone feels supported.\r\n\r\nThe prizes have been a wonderful source of motivation for my students as well. Through ClassDojo, students can earn points for positive behavior, effort, and doing their best. They are absolutely ecstatic when they have enough points to exchange for slime and other small prizes! Watching them work hard toward their goals and celebrate their accomplishments has been incredibly rewarding.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has had a meaningful impact on our classroom. These supplies may seem simple, but they have helped create a smoother, more organized, and more positive learning environment for my students. I am incredibly grateful for your support and for everyone who chose to invest in my students' education. Thank you for helping me give my students the classroom experience they deserve!","fullyFundedDate":1778083252170,"projectUrl":"project/adding-up-to-success-in-6th-grade-math/10232095/","projectTitle":"Adding Up to Success in 6th Grade Math!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Tetteh","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7826484_orig.png?crop=577,577,x31,y94&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1777479284028","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7826484"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_8576","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":357,"numTeachers":30,"percentFrplEligible":92,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":19,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":72,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":3,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"11.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":68.7,"schoolId":8576,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Esperanza Medrano Elementary on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Esperanza Medrano Elementary","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/dallas-independent-school-district/esperanza-medrano-academy/8576"}
