The globes, maps, and small classroom resources are already being used daily as students locate regions we study, trace historical trade routes, and visualize how geography shapes culture, conflict, and connection. These materials have made lessons more interactive and have helped students better understand the world beyond the textbook.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials arrived, students were immediately excited. Simple items like globes and earth stress balls sparked curiosity and conversation, and students naturally began asking questions and making connections on their own. Instead of passively looking at images on a screen, they now have concrete references they can hold and examine, which has increased engagement and participation, especially for students who learn best through hands-on experiences.\r\n\r\nMoving forward, these resources will continue to support our current units as students analyze maps, compare regions, and build geographic literacy skills that are essential for social studies. Your generosity has helped create a classroom environment where learning feels more real, accessible, and engaging. Thank you for investing in my students and helping bring social studies to life.","fullyFundedDate":1754592686921,"projectUrl":"project/bringing-social-studies-to-life-maps-g/9306962/","projectTitle":"Bringing Social Studies to Life: Maps, Globes & More!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Wagers","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10010832"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_60057","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":586,"numTeachers":37,"percentFrplEligible":91,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":81,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":7,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"15.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":33.3,"schoolId":60057,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Kenneth D King Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Kenneth D King Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/kentucky/mercer-county-school-district/kenneth-d-king-middle-school/60057"}
