Thanks to your kindness, my 5th graders have greater access to supplies to bring history to life through our hands-on build projects. Your generosity has provided our classroom with materials that allow students to create, design, and construct projects that connect directly to their American History curriculum.\r\n\r\nEngaging in these projects has helped students develop a deeper understanding of key historical events and figures. They are currently creating artifacts and symbols for their Westward Expansion Travel Company Projects, and later in the year, they will be making a museum connecting changes to our country from the Civil War to the Civil Rights Movement. These hands-on experiences help them grasp complex concepts meaningfully. The excitement and enthusiasm in our classroom have been truly inspiring, and it is all because of your generosity.\r\n\r\nYour donation has enriched our students' learning experiences and fostered creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving skills. Watching students work together to bring history to life has been an incredible experience, and it would not have been possible without your support.\r\n\r\nOn behalf of my students, I thank you for believing in our classroom and investing in our future historians, innovators, and leaders. Your kindness has made a lasting impact, and we are truly grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1736640940595,"projectUrl":"project/the-power-of-projects-unlocking-histor/9021564/","projectTitle":"The Power of Projects: Unlocking History through Project-Based Building","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Peeler","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7810794_orig.jpg?crop=1128,1128,x1505,y685&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1706604189789","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7810794"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_2465","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":515,"numTeachers":46,"percentFrplEligible":33,"percentAsian":5,"percentBlack":5,"percentWhite":71,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":10,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"11.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":81.8,"schoolId":2465,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Woods Charter School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Woods Charter School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/north-carolina/north-carolina-department-of-education/woods-charter-school/2465"}
