This quiet focus time has increased reading fluency in allowing students to focus on the sound that is only coming from their laptop. The flexible sitting tools has allowed students to easily transition around the room during small group instruction and the reading games have turned practice into play. These games have encouraged collaboration and friendly competition amongst students.\r\n\r\nFrom the bottom of our hearts, thank you for believing in my students and helping them thrive.","fullyFundedDate":1758383725882,"projectUrl":"project/creating-an-engaging-and-learning-enviro/9718355/","projectTitle":"Creating an Engaging and Learning Environment for All!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Loatman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3833952_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1472850045865","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3833952"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_45866","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":502,"numTeachers":42,"percentFrplEligible":67,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":47,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":50,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":0,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"12.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":71.9,"schoolId":45866,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Laura Saunders Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Laura Saunders Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/miami-dade-county-public-schools/laura-saunders-elementary-school/45866"}
