Because of your kind support, we were able to purchase joke books of various types and levels to engage the students at the end of the school year. The genre of books made an immediate difference in the culture of my classroom and the engagement of students' relationships. The room was full of laughter and interaction like I've never experienced before. The students couldn't wait to read another joke with their friends. Even the reluctant readers couldn't stop reading and improved their skills in two weeks. \r\n\r\nOne of my favorite comments from a student was, \"Wow, I never knew reading is this easy and fun!\" Seeing their excitement and engagement in reading made it clear how meaningful your gift truly is. Your generosity is not only fueling their academic growth—it's boosting their confidence and joy in reading.\r\n\r\nFrom the bottom of my heart, thank you for believing in my students and investing in their future. We're so grateful to have you as a supporter of our learning journey.","fullyFundedDate":1746504934412,"projectUrl":"project/everyone-loves-to-tell-a-joke/9243745/","projectTitle":"Everyone Loves to Tell a Joke","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Huang","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1930361_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y386&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1659646619249","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1930361"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_4990","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":375,"numTeachers":15,"percentFrplEligible":42,"percentAsian":18,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":10,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":56,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"25.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":84.4,"schoolId":4990,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Lakewood Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Lakewood Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/sunnyvale-school-district/lakewood-elementary-school/4990"}
