My students have already started using and benefiting from the new materials. We have been able to start using the chart paper and markers to do a lab and record class results for comparison. Our lab was testing cups to see which type held the cold best and which type held the heat best. I used the metal cart to store all the supplies to move them around the room for students to have easier access. \r\n\r\nThe safety googles just came today so I have a full class set. I will be able to do some new labs now that I have proper safety supplies. I also received tennis balls for the bottom of chairs and the students were so happy not to hear chairs scraping across the floor. Middle school kids move a lot. \r\n\r\nMy classroom finally feels complete and ready for learning. My students will benefit all year and years to come from the supplies. It was truly amazing to see a community come together to support my students and myself.

Your gift is more than just a collection of stories—it is a source of empowerment, validation, and inspiration for my students.\r\n\r\nMany of my students have never seen themselves reflected in the books they read. Having access to literature that mirrors their experiences, cultures, and voices makes a profound difference in their engagement and confidence as readers. These books allow them to connect with characters who share their struggles and triumphs, helping them realize that their own stories matter too.\r\nAlready, I have seen students eagerly flipping through pages, excited to find themselves in the narratives. Reluctant readers are discovering books that speak to them, sparking curiosity and meaningful discussions. Your generosity has created opportunities for my students to see the power of their own voices and to embrace the joy of reading in a way they may not have before.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in the transformative power of literature and for supporting our students in such a meaningful way.

While it may seem like a simple tool, it has made a tremendous difference in the way I teach and interact with my students.\r\n\r\nWith this cart, I am no longer tethered to one spot—I can move freely around the room, bringing instruction directly to my students, whether they are working in small groups, engaged in independent tasks, or need one-on-one support. This mobility has created a more dynamic and engaging learning environment, allowing me to be more present and responsive to my students' needs in real time.\r\n\r\nBeyond convenience, this cart has helped foster stronger connections with my students. Instead of feeling like instruction comes from a single fixed point, learning now happens everywhere in the room. I can guide students through lessons, check in on their progress more seamlessly, and create a more interactive and supportive classroom space.","fullyFundedDate":1715203514212,"projectUrl":"project/going-mobile-in-a-modern-classroom/8384637/","projectTitle":"Going Mobile in a Modern Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. McKenzie","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7807719_orig.jpg?crop=889,889,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1633726949026","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/teachgirlteach"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_44567","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":723,"numTeachers":44,"percentFrplEligible":85,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":18,"percentWhite":17,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":59,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"16.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":57.4,"schoolId":44567,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Stanton Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Stanton Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/delaware/red-clay-consolidated-school-district/stanton-middle-school/44567"}
