Jones book sets to our kindergarten classroom. These books have quickly become a highlight of our day, especially during snack time. The students absolutely love listening to Junie B.'s funny adventures, and they eagerly anticipate what she will do next. Having a consistent story to follow has sparked joy, laughter, and wonderful conversations among the children, helping them make connections to their own experiences in a way that feels both engaging and fun.\r\n\r\nThe impact of this donation goes far beyond just enjoying a story. Listening to these books each day is helping our students build listening comprehension, vocabulary, and a deeper understanding of character perspective. They are learning to empathize, laugh, and reflect right alongside Junie B. Your gift has created an experience that is both educational and exciting, and it has made a meaningful difference in our classroom community. Thank you for supporting our young learners and for giving them the chance to fall in love with books in such a special way.","fullyFundedDate":1752200127880,"projectUrl":"project/kindergarten-class/9446293/","projectTitle":"Kindergarten Class","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Stevens","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10070845"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_120939","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":861,"numTeachers":60,"percentFrplEligible":9,"percentAsian":52,"percentBlack":7,"percentWhite":21,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":8,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"14.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":46.7,"schoolId":120939,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Hughes Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Hughes Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/prosper-independent-school-district/jim-and-betty-hughes-elementary-school/120939"}
