Your generosity has already made a meaningful difference in our classroom.\r\n\r\nMy students are using these resources as they learn about South Carolina history and the people, cultures, and events that have shaped our state. Having engaging, hands-on materials has allowed me to move beyond simply reading from a textbook and give my students opportunities to explore history in a more interactive way. One of our recent projects has students learning about South Carolina's Native American tribes, including the Catawba, Cherokee, and Yamasee. Students are exploring their geography, homes, traditions, and culture through creative activities that allow them to demonstrate their learning in their own way.\r\n\r\nThe students were especially excited when they first saw the new materials. They immediately wanted to explore and use them, and I could see their curiosity grow. For middle school students, having something tangible and engaging can make a huge difference in getting them excited about a topic that might otherwise feel like \"just another history lesson.\" Watching them become involved and eager to participate has been one of the most rewarding parts of this project.\r\n\r\nOur next step is to continue building on what we have learned by having students create, investigate, and discuss what they have discovered about South Carolina's history and cultures. I am excited to continue using these resources throughout the school year to create lessons where students can learn history while also thinking creatively, asking questions, and making connections to the world around them.\r\n\r\nThank you again for investing in my students and helping make our classroom a more engaging place to learn. Your support is giving my students experiences they may not otherwise have had, and I truly appreciate it!","fullyFundedDate":1781284402042,"projectUrl":"project/teaching-the-leaders-of-tomorrow-by-stu/10332816/","projectTitle":"Teaching the Leaders of Tomorrow (By Studying Social Studies)","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Banning","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10529384"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_6823","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":594,"numTeachers":42,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":64,"percentWhite":19,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":7,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":7,"gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"14.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":34.2,"schoolId":6823,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Dillon Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Dillon Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/south-carolina/dillon-county-school-district-4/j-v-martin-junior-high-school/6823"}
