Many of my students work hard to manage distractions, and your support will make a meaningful difference for them.\r\n\r\nThe silencing headphones have been so helpful for my students that struggle with distractions. They provide a sense of peace that also allows them to hear my voice if need be. The balance board has been a fun activity to help them get the wiggles out after working hard during math or at the end of the day. The colorful, comfy library chairs allow for alternative seating and are big enough to fit two students at times.\r\n\r\nMy students are already excited and grateful knowing that people care about their learning and success. Thank you for believing in them and supporting our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1768423345702,"projectUrl":"project/building-a-classroom-that-allows-for-foc/10011453/","projectTitle":"Building a Classroom That Allows for Focus, Fun and Balance","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Crawford","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5845952_orig.jpg?crop=1017,1017,x0,y98&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1633466918187","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5845952"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_83086","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":254,"numTeachers":21,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":34,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":51,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"12.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":72.5,"schoolId":83086,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Florence Drake Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Florence Drake Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/nevada/washoe-county-school-district/florence-drake-elementary-school/83086"}
