My students discovered the Magic Tree House and Junie B Jones graphic novels and feel in love with the new series. Many students have come to me and begged for new books from the series after completing the ones that I have. They even showed me that there were additional books in the series. \r\n\r\nDuring our small group reading, my students can't wait to go to the library center so they can enjoyed flexible seating while reading a book. I am thrilled that I am able to encourage my students to read and develop a love for reading. I was blessed to have received such a generous donation and I want to thank all of my donors for choosing my classroom to support.","fullyFundedDate":1768779706124,"projectUrl":"project/second-grade-rocks/9953110/","projectTitle":"Second Grade Rocks","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Rainey","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8113019_orig.jpg?crop=696,696,x839,y122&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1738278357469","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8113019"},{"teacherId":10109170,"projectId":9529216,"letterContent":"Thank you for donating to my classroom project. The white boards and rugs have not only made my class cozier and more fun, but they have made learning less of a struggle for some kids. \r\n The white boards have made whole group time so much better! Now, when I say \"Get out your white boards so we can practice spelling.\" all of my students cheer instead of groan. \r\n When we break into groups for reading or math practice, one group has a soft rug to meet on. They are able to get more comfortable and really sink into the learning task. Again, thank you for supporting my students' learning.","fullyFundedDate":1764602165864,"projectUrl":"project/cozy-learning/9529216/","projectTitle":"Cozy Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Satterwhite","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10109170"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_14989","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1133,"numTeachers":60,"percentFrplEligible":62,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":17,"percentWhite":70,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":8,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":3,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"18.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"UNCLASSIFIED","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":28.6,"schoolId":14989,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about South Jones Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"South Jones Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/mississippi/jones-county-school-district/south-jones-elementary-school/14989"}
