By highlighting these learning tools, the lights encouraged curiosity and focus, helping students actively participate in their learning. This simple addition not only enhanced the environment but also supported student engagement and ownership of the classroom space. The resources were not only more visible, but also more accessible, allowing me to encourage independent learning and student ownership. These changes supported stronger participation, improved collaboration, and a greater sense of excitement for learning every day.","fullyFundedDate":1750256121599,"projectUrl":"project/light-up-learning-in-our-classrooms/9257907/","projectTitle":"Light Up Learning in Our Classrooms!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Chandler","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp396932_orig.jpg?crop=504,505,x0,y15&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1744732021590","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/396932"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_11926","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":988,"numTeachers":61,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":20,"percentWhite":71,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":2,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"16.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":71.1,"schoolId":11926,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Excel School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Excel School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/alabama/monroe-county-school-district/excel-school/11926"}
