Thanks to you, my students and I have been able to access a wealth of new resources that have already made a significant impact on our learning. These resources have opened up new opportunities for creativity, collaboration, and deeper understanding in ways that weren't possible before.\r\n\r\nOne particular moment stands out that I think will help you understand the power of your support. We recently completed a coaching cycle where students went through ORF testing using the new materials we received. When they first saw the new supplies—such as better-quality reading games, whisper phones, treats and rewards—there was an immediate spark of excitement. The students couldn't wait to get started, and it was amazing to see their enthusiasm. They worked in small groups, teaching and leading classmates. \r\n\r\nThe new resources have not only enhanced this specific project but have also made everyday lessons more interactive and engaging. Students now have access to high-quality visuals, hands-on materials, and updated tools that have made learning more dynamic. As a result, their curiosity and critical thinking have soared, and they've become more independent in their learning. The level of engagement has been higher than ever before!","fullyFundedDate":1736172980392,"projectUrl":"project/busy-bees-learning-nest/8772200/","projectTitle":"Busy Bee’s Learning Nest","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Ka.Smith","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9745731"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_16125","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":677,"numTeachers":41,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":66,"percentWhite":17,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":6,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"16.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":50.0,"schoolId":16125,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Phenix City Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Phenix City Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/alabama/phenix-city-schools/phenix-city-elementary-school/16125"}
