I'm taking the year off but we both truly feel like the EL night was a critical part of students and families building trust with the school and each other.

Thank you so much for your assistance in my project. Last year's class was easily distracted, mainly by items in their desk. No matter how often we cleaned out our desks, scholars quickly found something to play with. My only option was to empty out their desks and turn them around so they didn't even have access to the opening of the desk, but what do you do with things that NEEDED to be in their desks?\r\n These carts that you helped me get were a complete game changer! Each group had their own cart where all their desk items were kept. Items were sorted by subject so that when it was time for a specific subject, that drawer was pulled out and the only thing that was available to scholars were the items they needed for that subject. \r\n Not only did this keep all of my scholars really organized (as there wasn't room for extra items in the drawers), but it improved the focus during lessons by leaps and bounds. I had scholars participating that normally would not participate because they were so focused on playing in their desks. \r\n I am excited to start this new year with the carts so that scholars don't know any different. I appreciate you and your donation that moved my class in the most positive direction.","fullyFundedDate":1742918183415,"projectUrl":"project/organization-without-distraction/9174449/","projectTitle":"Organization Without Distraction","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Aguirre","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9969571_orig.jpg?crop=2400,2400,x0,y216&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1741994124804","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9969571"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_123896","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1021,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":24,"percentAsian":6,"percentBlack":6,"percentWhite":34,"percentIndigenous":2,"percentLatinx":43,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Weighted Average","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":75.0,"schoolId":123896,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Leman Academy Excellence - Ora Valley on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Leman Academy Excellence - Ora Valley","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/arizona/arizona-department-of-education/leman-academy-excellence-ora-vly/123896"}
