I wanted to share how your gift has already made a difference for my students this year.\r\n\r\nAnnotation kits are now the heart of our daily routine. When it comes to looking through our weekly nonfiction articles, every student has their own highlighters, so they can mark up the text, question the author, and see their thinking take shape. Last week, students had a particularly challenging article, and I watched them argue with the text in ways they never had before. The digital timer keeps our discussions fair and focused, so every student gets a turn to share their ideas.\r\n\r\nThe change in lighting made the biggest difference in the feel of the room. The fluorescent light covers and floor lamps have softened the harsh overhead glare, and students settle in more easily for quiet writing and honest discussion. When they first walked in and saw the new materials, one student said that she felt like she could focus more because she didn't get as many headaches as she once did. What moved me most was that they saw the changes as proof that someone cared about their space, and they have treated everything with respect.\r\n\r\nNext, students are working toward a Socratic Seminar on their class novel where they'll use their annotations to build evidence-based arguments, and then practice speaking up for those arguments in class discussions. Since this year's focus is personal character development, they'll also reflect on how their words and beliefs shape who they are.\r\n\r\nBecause of you, my students have the tools and the space to believe their words matter. Thank you for helping them see that they can make a difference far beyond our small school.","fullyFundedDate":1785869927959,"projectUrl":"project/flourish-and-fly-a-refreshed-classroom/10394229/","projectTitle":"Flourish and Fly: a Refreshed Classroom for Better Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Payne","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10558084_orig.jpg?crop=120,120,x0,y7&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1793297526138","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10558084"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_100072","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":741,"numTeachers":24,"percentFrplEligible":43,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":94,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":1,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":3,"gradesServed":"K - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"30.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":64.0,"schoolId":100072,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Tri - Village School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Tri - Village School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/ohio/tri-village-local-sch-dist/tri-village-school/100072"}
