The introduction of manipulative interactive games, and whiteboards has made a world of difference in the way our students approach their studies. The hands-on materials allow them to connect with concepts in a meaningful and fun way, while the freedom to write on the desks covered in contact paper has sparked excitement and creativity. Your support in providing these resources has made the classroom feel like a place of discovery and exploration, where students eagerly engage with their learning every day.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, the treasure box and reward system have been a huge motivator for our students. Seeing their faces light up when they meet their goals and choose a prize has made learning even more enjoyable. The cozy and calm atmosphere we've cultivated-along with special snacks like Pringles, Rice Krispies, and fruit snacks-has created a routine that students look forward to. It's amazing to watch them grow and succeed in an environment that balances fun, comfort, and learning. Thank you again for your generosity and support in helping make this an unforgettable experience for our students.","fullyFundedDate":1726304049893,"projectUrl":"project/being-active-and-cozy-with-math-readin/8585297/","projectTitle":"Being Active and Cozy with Math & Reading","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Williams-Riley","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7224619_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755312012123","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7224619"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_47966","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":420,"numTeachers":35,"percentFrplEligible":94,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":88,"percentWhite":2,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":4,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"12.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":59.0,"schoolId":47966,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Hodge Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Hodge Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/georgia/savannah-chatham-county-school-district/hodge-elementary-school/47966"}
