One standout moment was during a recent social studies lesson when students used the materials to work in small groups and practice sharing ideas, listening respectfully, and making group decisions together—seeing them proudly explain their thinking to one another was incredibly meaningful. When the students first saw the materials, their faces lit up with excitement; they were eager to explore, ask questions, and jump right in, which immediately boosted engagement and participation. Thanks to your generosity, our next steps include using these resources to deepen a current lesson on community and responsibility, where students will apply what they've learned by creating simple projects that show how they can be active, caring members of their classroom and school community.","fullyFundedDate":1700255191503,"projectUrl":"project/mrs-hernandezs-project/8014759/","projectTitle":"Mrs. Hernandez’s Project","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hernandez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9117055_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1690921334829","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9117055"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_126243","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1033,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":18,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":64,"percentIndigenous":4,"percentLatinx":20,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":73.1,"schoolId":126243,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Pinecrest Academy Northern Nevada on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Pinecrest Academy Northern Nevada","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/nevada/nevada-department-of-education/pinecrest-academy-of-northern-nevada/126243"}
