Your contributions have improved my classroom in many ways. We needed a new classroom rug so bad. Now we have a beautiful rug that my entire class can fit on. My 2nd graders sit on my rug daily for whole group lessons, independent reading, and math games. \r\n\r\nWe also have 6 bright stools for teacher table. Not only are these stools pretty, they also are just the right height for my 2nd graders to sit comfortably. Daily my students come to teacher table to get their individual needs met with me in small groups. We love these new seats!\r\n\r\nIt is always fun to get new books. The book series that were purchased: Dragon Girls, Taco and Pizza, and Investigators have been very popular and are hardly staying on the shelves of my classroom library. Thank you for supporting me, my students, and my school.","fullyFundedDate":1753888260773,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-comfort-books/9418194/","projectTitle":"Classroom Comfort & Books","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Martino","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4507854_orig.jpg?crop=2400,2400,x0,y40&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1750124967700","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/martino"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_94928","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":595,"numTeachers":33,"percentFrplEligible":27,"percentAsian":17,"percentBlack":17,"percentWhite":43,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":14,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 4","studentTeacherRatio":"18.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":86.4,"schoolId":94928,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Rita Smith Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Rita Smith Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/wylie-ind-school-district-collin/smith-elementary-school/94928"}
