The students have been earning Pokemon cards and they trade them at the end of the school day. They pick their cards right before dismissal and are eager to trade amongst themselves and the students from the other classrooms. They've built new friendships while trading when waiting to get picked up after school. They translate what energies they're going to use from English to Spanish and the amount of damage that the cards do. They also sound out the names and what each card says while asking those around them to help them figure out what exactly the card does. \r\nWhen the Pokemon cards arrived, they were elated and ready to earn the cards. They have increased they're addition strategies through adding in the energies with the cards. They think aloud when they're adding and talk amongst each other as to why their cards do more damage and why. The students have built the automaticity within recognizing which cards do more damage and why. \r\nThe classroom integrates the IB curriculum as well, so the students have made connections with the words evolution, change, express, and so many more to the Pokemon cards and trading. The students build within their learning constantly while continuing to be engaged and building friendships whilst translanguaging.","fullyFundedDate":1735840741767,"projectUrl":"project/fostering-a-learning-community-through-t/9003349/","projectTitle":"Fostering a Learning Community Through Trading","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Gonzalez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9872320"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_14292","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":205,"numTeachers":32,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":100,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 7","studentTeacherRatio":"6.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":74.4,"schoolId":14292,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Roy Cisneros Leadership School for Boys on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Roy Cisneros Leadership School for Boys","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/edgewood-ind-school-district-san-antonio/roy-cisneros-elementary/14292"}
