The new resources have already made a wonderful difference in our students' learning. We are using the dry-erase boards and colorful markers for handwriting practice, responding to questions, and working through lessons together. The colored pencils have also given students new ways to show their creativity and complete classroom activities. And, of course, the snacks have been a special treat during our learning time! When the supplies first arrived, my students were so excited to see the colorful materials and snacks. They immediately wanted to explore everything, and it was wonderful to see their enthusiasm and curiosity.\r\n\r\n One of my favorite moments was watching students use their new whiteboards during a classroom lesson. Instead of waiting for everyone to finish writing on paper, students could quickly write their answers, hold up their boards, and share their thinking. They were excited to erase, try again, and help one another. The simple addition of these boards made the lesson feel more interactive and gave even my quieter students a chance to participate and share their ideas. Seeing their smiles and excitement reminded me how meaningful these resources can be in creating an engaging classroom.\r\n\r\n Our students are continuing to build their skills through hands-on lessons, writing practice, and creative activities. We will keep using the whiteboards and markers as we work through new lessons, while the colored pencils will help students add creativity and detail to their work. The snacks are also helping us celebrate their hard work and create positive moments throughout the school day. Thank you for giving our students resources that encourage them to participate, practice, create, and feel excited about learning. Your generosity is making our classroom a more engaging and joyful place!","fullyFundedDate":1774148061989,"projectUrl":"project/essentials-for-the-class/10165529/","projectTitle":"Essentials for the Class","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Alves","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10223953_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1756157588554","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10223953"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_61798","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":854,"numTeachers":82,"percentFrplEligible":17,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":3,"percentWhite":79,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":9,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":3,"gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"10.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":76.7,"schoolId":61798,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Wakefield Memorial High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Wakefield Memorial High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/massachusetts/wakefield-public-school-district/wakefield-memorial-high-school/61798"}
