It has really helped us, my students and myself included, to be ready to show our work. Having a sharp pencil with a point that last all day has been a game changer. No more stopping to sharpen and get a new pencil has helped to keep us focused.\r\n The little pets have been fun to recieve. Having a class buddy to teach what we have learned is always a fun way to review. \r\n The head phones have helped my students the most. They are able to use them and get their work done, especially when they have to practice their reading fluency. No more waiting for a long time to have a turn to use them. Now everyone gets a turn everyday. They still share,but the wait is shorter.","fullyFundedDate":1727096143580,"projectUrl":"project/helping-to-build-focused-and-fluent-read/8768919/","projectTitle":"Helping to Build Focused and Fluent Readers","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Lopez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9744398"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_10697","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":784,"numTeachers":54,"percentFrplEligible":92,"percentAsian":5,"percentBlack":21,"percentWhite":11,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":56,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"14.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":69.0,"schoolId":10697,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Owens Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Owens Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/cypress-fairbanks-independent-school-district/owens-elementary-school/10697"}
