Your support has provided my students with basic materials that have already made an impact on their learning. The dry erase boards and highlighters have been particularly helpful during our math problem-solving sessions. Students use the boards to work out problems and collaborate with peers, which has encouraged more active participation and greater understanding of concepts like fractions, equations, and geometry. The highlighters are helping us break apart prompts to better understand what complex problems are asking. The pencils, glue sticks, and paper are also being put to great use for our interactive notebook and class activities.\r\n\r\nWhen the supplies arrived, my students were thrilled! They eagerly organized the materials and couldn't wait to start using them. I had many students volunteer to put together the drawer cart! This has been a game-changer for keeping everything organized, allowing students to quickly grab what they need during lessons and minimizing classroom disruptions.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, my students are currently working on a unit involving systems of equations. We'll be using the dry erase boards to visually model problems and the highlighters to identify key steps in the problem-solving process. These resources will help students work through challenging problems with confidence. Thank you again for supporting our classroom and making a real difference in my students' education","fullyFundedDate":1736962199106,"projectUrl":"project/basic-materials-for-middle-school-math/8861453/","projectTitle":"Basic Materials for Middle School Math","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Mayden","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9253108"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_42260","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":805,"numTeachers":46,"percentFrplEligible":27,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":66,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":20,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"7 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"17.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":86.4,"schoolId":42260,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Sierra Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Sierra Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/colorado/douglas-county-school-district-re-1/sierra-middle-school/42260"}
