Your support means so much to my students and me.\r\n\r\nThe excitement in my classroom was incredible when the Pop Its arrived! My students couldn't wait to get their hands on them, and they have quickly become a favorite learning tool. Just like traditional multiplication charts, these interactive Pop Its help students build fluency with multiplication facts, which is essential for understanding more advanced math concepts.\r\n\r\nMultiplication charts are incredibly useful in helping students recognize multiples and factors, which are key to understanding patterns in numbers. They also play a crucial role in long division, as students must quickly recall multiplication facts to divide efficiently. Before using the Pop Its, many students would groan about the number of steps in long division, but now, their boredom and frustration have been replaced with engagement and enthusiasm! The hands-on nature of the Pop Its has transformed the way they approach these challenging problems.\r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity, my students are more excited about math than ever before. Your kindness has truly made a difference in our classroom, and we are so grateful!","fullyFundedDate":1739862757967,"projectUrl":"project/pop-it-math-fun/8736790/","projectTitle":"Pop It Math Fun","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lumpkin","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9711796"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_8915","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":303,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":87,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":10,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":26.7,"schoolId":8915,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Leflore County Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Leflore County Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/mississippi/greenwood-leflore-consolidated-school-district/leflore-co-elementary-school/8915"}
