These supplies may seem simple, but they make a BIG difference in our daily classroom routines and learning experiences.\r\n\r\nMy students were so excited when they saw the new supplies! They especially loved having their own notebooks and discovering how the tennis balls help make their chairs quieter and create a more comfortable learning environment. The Expo markers and sticky notes are already being put to good use during our lessons, allowing students to write, share ideas, brainstorm, and participate in hands-on activities.\r\n\r\nOne of my favorite things is seeing students excited to open their notebooks, write down their thoughts, and take ownership of their learning. The tennis balls are also a wonderful addition because they help reduce classroom noise and create a calmer environment where students can better focus.\r\n\r\nMoving forward, we will continue using these materials in our daily lessons, writing activities, group discussions, and interactive learning projects. The students will use their notebooks to record their ideas and learning, sticky notes to share their thinking, and Expo markers for engaging classroom activities.","fullyFundedDate":1791661574416,"projectUrl":"project/supplies-for-success-empowering-every-l/10726884/","projectTitle":"Supplies for Success: Empowering Every Learner","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Rodgers","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10707721"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_75346","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":623,"numTeachers":60,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":57,"percentWhite":3,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":34,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":0,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"10.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":70.5,"schoolId":75346,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Whitney M Young Junior Elementary School 15 on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Whitney M Young Junior Elementary School 15","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-jersey/jersey-city-public-school-district/whitney-m-young-junior-primary-school/75346"}
