I want to take a moment to thank you for your incredible generosity in donating a laminator and printer to our classroom. Your contribution has made a meaningful and lasting impact on my students, and I am excited to share how these tools are transforming their learning experience.\r\n\r\nOne of the most noticeable changes is the new way we display and celebrate student work. With the laminator, I've been able to preserve my students' projects and display them proudly on our \"Student Work\" board. This not only boosts their confidence but also encourages them to put in their best effort, knowing their hard work will be showcased. Seeing their work laminated and displayed has created a sense of pride that inspires them to aim higher with every task.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, the printer and laminator have allowed me to create reusable activity sheets, which I've named \"Extra Challenges.\" These laminated benchmark-based activities provide an engaging way for early finishers to extend their learning. Using dry-erase pens, students can complete these challenges over and over, keeping them busy while reinforcing key concepts. The best part is that these activities are environmentally friendly and can be reused year after year.\r\n\r\nYour support has brought new energy and excitement to our classroom, fostering a love for learning and creativity among my students. Thank you for making a difference in their lives.","fullyFundedDate":1729708407397,"projectUrl":"project/empowering-language-arts-with-print-and/8550547/","projectTitle":"Empowering Language Arts with Print and Laminate Magic","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Calixton","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9624650"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_46950","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":799,"numTeachers":52,"percentFrplEligible":92,"percentAsian":9,"percentBlack":23,"percentWhite":34,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":25,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"15.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":82.1,"schoolId":46950,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Tyrone Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Tyrone Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/pinellas-county-schools/tyrone-middle-school/46950"}
