These materials are invaluable—they allow me to create differentiated activities that support my students' success not only in our classroom, but also in the general education setting.\r\nWhen the students first saw the materials, their reactions were unforgettable. Their eyes lit up, smiles spread across their faces, and several immediately asked if they could begin using them. For many of my students, math can feel overwhelming, but these resources transformed it into something enjoyable and approachable. You have given them the gift of confidence and curiosity, and that means more than words can express.\r\nThe reading materials have also been a tremendous support in making sight‑word learning engaging and accessible. Many of my students benefit from tactile, hands-on tools, and these resources have provided exactly what they needed to feel successful. They have brought so much joy to our classroom over the past month, helping us end the term on a high note and return to school with continued excitement for learning.\r\nThank you for making such a meaningful difference in my students' lives. Your generosity will have a lasting impact on their growth, confidence, and love of learning.","fullyFundedDate":1763559045248,"projectUrl":"project/new-year-new-classroom/9649290/","projectTitle":"New Year, New Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Emily","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7897245_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1632165443198","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7897245"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_79094","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":257,"numTeachers":20,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":4,"percentWhite":17,"percentIndigenous":3,"percentLatinx":67,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"12.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":61.5,"schoolId":79094,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Sherman Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Sherman Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/nebraska/omaha-public-schools/sherman-elementary-school/79094"}
