These simple tools have provided opportunities for creativity, friendly competition, and collaboration, keeping students engaged in positive ways. With clearer structure and purposeful activities, the room feels calmer, students are more focused, and smiles are abundant. It has been encouraging to watch them take ownership of this time, showing responsibility, creativity, and cooperation, making indoor recess a highlight of the day.","fullyFundedDate":1762267551302,"projectUrl":"project/when-its-cold-outside-we-play-inside/9733107/","projectTitle":"When It’s Cold Outside, We Play Inside!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Ramos","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10270601_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1760998438024","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10270601"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_107232","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":246,"numTeachers":18,"percentFrplEligible":33,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":53,"percentWhite":14,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":20,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"13.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":69.5,"schoolId":107232,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about United Community School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"United Community School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/north-carolina/north-carolina-department-of-education/united-community-school/107232"}
