While encountering a wide variety of proficiency and a myriad of learning modalities, arts are a tried and true method of bridging gaps of all kinds. \r\n\r\nYour support allowed for arts infusion in a variety of forms. We were able to keep our adjective tree in use throughout the different seasons.(We used different colors of leaves for the different seasons and different units of study.)\r\nStudents created a variety of acrostic poetry, from gratitude to holidays to spring time. Finally, students are ending the school year with 'found poetry' projects.\r\n\r\nAll these methods proved to be great ways to foster engagement, critical thinking and creativity.\r\nAs an educator working in a different capacity, these proved to be vital aids. Forever thankful for your care and generosity. Despite the ever evolving educational landscape, it is truly all about the best for our children. They will remember if one was kind and had a 'listening heart,' that is an enduring goal with my personal educational philosophy.","fullyFundedDate":1733269560292,"projectUrl":"project/help-us-grow-our-love-of-english-with-th/8861380/","projectTitle":"Help us grow our LOVE of English with the ARTS!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Miller","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9794276"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_42014","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":456,"numTeachers":33,"percentFrplEligible":58,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":74,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":3,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"7 - 9","studentTeacherRatio":"13.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":76.2,"schoolId":42014,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Pocahontas Junior High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Pocahontas Junior High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/arkansas/pocahontas-public-schools/pocahontas-junior-high-school/42014"}
