The poster paper has been a tremendous help in creating anchor charts that support students during new learning topics. Having these visual tools displayed around the room has made it easier for my kindergarteners to revisit important concepts, stay engaged during lessons, and build confidence as they practice new skills.\r\nThe students were beyond excited when they saw the new flexible seating options. These seats have made a noticeable difference in their motivation and ability to stay focused, creating a learning environment they truly enjoy. They were equally thrilled with the ELA STEM games, which have become a favorite resource for practicing letter sounds and CVC words. These materials are helping them grow as readers in a fun and interactive way. Your generosity has made a meaningful impact on our classroom, and we are so grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1757684448228,"projectUrl":"project/inclusive-learning/9304977/","projectTitle":"Inclusive Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Jarquin","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9885718"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_82028","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":539,"numTeachers":43,"percentFrplEligible":31,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":3,"percentWhite":42,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":47,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"12.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":85.7,"schoolId":82028,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Roosevelt Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Roosevelt Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-jersey/hawthorne-public-schools/roosevelt-elementary-school/82028"}
