They dove right in with so much curiosity and confidence.

One special project we did was a \"My Heart Word Story\" where students wrote short stories using heart word. They were so proud to read their stories aloud to their classmates!\r\n\r\nThe excitement was immediate! The journals felt so \"official\" to them. They loved having their own special space for writing, and many asked if they could take it home to keep writing after school. One student hugged her journal and said, \"This is where my smart writing goes!\" It was such a sweet moment that showed how empowering the right materials can be.\r\n\r\nNext, we're working on stretching our sentences—adding details about who, what, where, and when. The journals will be key for this, helping students build confidence in writing longer, more complete thoughts. We're also preparing to do a class book where each student contributes a page using heart words and expanded sentences, which we'll share with families!","fullyFundedDate":1734381015099,"projectUrl":"project/lets-write/8987039/","projectTitle":"Let's Write","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Jeter","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9121422"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_104867","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":384,"numTeachers":39,"percentFrplEligible":56,"percentAsian":11,"percentBlack":25,"percentWhite":44,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":12,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"9.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":86.5,"schoolId":104867,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Northside Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Northside Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/north-carolina/chapel-hill-carrboro-city-sd/northside-elementary-school/104867"}
