My students were beyond excited when they first saw the new whiteboards and markers. They couldn't wait to start using them, and we immediately put them to use during our vocabulary review. It was amazing to see how something as simple as whiteboards could bring so much energy and engagement into our classroom.\r\n\r\nWe've been using the boards regularly during lessons, especially for vocabulary practice. One of my favorite moments was during a team review game, students were eagerly racing to write the correct word or definition on their boards and hold them up. They're very competitive and love sharing their answers with the class. This excitement also encourages them to double-check their spelling and accuracy before writing anything down, which has helped improve their attention to detail. As we continue building our vocabulary and literacy skills, the whiteboards have become an essential and fun part of our daily routine.\r\n\r\nThank you again for supporting our classroom you've made a lasting impact!","fullyFundedDate":1758800216229,"projectUrl":"project/erase-and-repeat/9719802/","projectTitle":"Erase and Repeat","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Castro","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7643690_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753109283397","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/castrofiorito"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_24566","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":909,"numTeachers":43,"percentFrplEligible":85,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":95,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":3,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":1,"gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"21.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":45.1,"schoolId":24566,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about McDonogh 35 Senior High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"McDonogh 35 Senior High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/louisiana/orleans-parish-school-district/mcdonogh-35-college-prep-high-school/24566"}
