As a first-year teacher, building a classroom from the ground up can be overwhelming, and your generosity helped provide organization and storage that I use every single day. The two smaller bookshelves give me much-needed classroom storage, while the large five-shelf bookshelf has become our home for math materials and resources. The paper organizers keep my cardstock, colored paper, and daily math copies organized and ready to use, and the magnetic holders allow me to keep important chart paper visible and accessible right on our whiteboard. Even the large surge protector has made it easier to safely keep our classroom technology powered and ready for learning.\r\n\r\n These resources may seem like simple classroom supplies, but their impact reaches far beyond organization. Having materials organized, prepared, and easily accessible means less instructional time is spent searching for supplies or preparing materials and more time is spent teaching and supporting my students. Your donations have helped me create a classroom that is functional, organized, and ready for learning each day. I am incredibly grateful that you chose to support my first classroom and, most importantly, the students who learn in it every day. Thank you for investing in our classroom and helping give my students a space where they can learn, grow, and succeed.","fullyFundedDate":1780062812216,"projectUrl":"project/creating-a-classroom-where-students-can/10297090/","projectTitle":"Creating A Classroom Where Students Can Thrive","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Johnson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10512285_orig.jpg?crop=1242,1242,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1779151121451","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10512285"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_77371","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":350,"numTeachers":28,"percentFrplEligible":81,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":29,"percentIndigenous":6,"percentLatinx":58,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":2,"percentMultiracialImputed":2,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"12.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":25.4,"schoolId":77371,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Southwest City Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Southwest City Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/missouri/mcdonald-co-school-district-r1/southwest-city-elementary-school/77371"}
