We've learned so much about each other through these guided questions, creating a more supportive and understanding classroom environment.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, the self-monitoring behavior sheets have been a game changer. They've given my students a structured way to reflect on their actions, helping them better understand themselves and their choices. On my end, data tracking resources have been an absolute lifesaver, allowing me to stay organized and effectively monitor student progress.\r\n\r\nThese resources have not only enriched my students' learning but have also made me a more functional and effective teacher. Thank you for making this possible! Your generosity has truly made a lasting impact in our classroom. 💙","fullyFundedDate":1723120141741,"projectUrl":"project/creating-a-classroom-with-essential-reso/8553889/","projectTitle":"Creating a Classroom with Essential Resources","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Madison","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8882506_orig.jpg?crop=858,858,x0,y82&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1684865969112","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8882506"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_93788","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":439,"numTeachers":27,"percentFrplEligible":43,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":28,"percentWhite":47,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":10,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"16.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":90.9,"schoolId":93788,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Fair School - Crystal on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Fair School - Crystal","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/minnesota/robbinsdale-area-schools/fine-arts-interdisplin-mid-school/93788"}
