When the materials arrived, my students were thrilled. The hot chocolate supplies and resources immediately sparked excitement and curiosity, and students eagerly began discussing how they could use them in our classroom business project. Their enthusiasm created a level of engagement that carried throughout the entire learning experience.\r\n\r\nUsing the materials, students launched our Cocoa Corner project, where they applied reading, writing, speaking, and critical thinking skills in authentic ways. They created advertisements, designed promotional materials, wrote persuasive and informational texts, and collaborated to develop a real-world business plan. It was especially rewarding to see students who are often hesitant to participate become excited about writing and sharing their ideas.\r\n\r\nAs we moved forward, students continued analyzing advertising techniques, creating multimedia presentations, and reflecting on how communication influences an audience. Your generosity has provided opportunities for meaningful, hands-on learning while helping students build confidence, collaboration skills, and a deeper appreciation for the power of effective communication. Thank you for making this experience possible for our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1772058035640,"projectUrl":"project/mugs-of-motivation-a-hands-on-language/9953328/","projectTitle":"Mugs of Motivation: A Hands-On Language Arts Project","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Hurlocker","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2483296_orig.jpg?crop=1343,1343,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1640010499218","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2483296"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_2627","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":496,"numTeachers":34,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":33,"percentWhite":17,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":39,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":8,"gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"14.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":75.6,"schoolId":2627,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Thomasville Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Thomasville Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/north-carolina/thomasville-city-school-district/thomasville-middle-school/2627"}
