Since this project has been funded, I have been able to create engaging lessons for my class, and they were even able to have a movie day on Halloween with snacks!\r\n\r\nThe students were so excited to come in and see a brand new TV in their classroom. I have been able to project lessons, group questions for discussion, and exemplars for students to read and edit. This is truly an amazing opportunity for me as a teacher, but also for my students. Other teachers stop by and ask about our setup, because they want the same thing for their classrooms.\r\n\r\nSince being blessed with generous donations, my students have been more engaged in class. They love that they can explore things together on a big screen, as opposed to alone on their small Chromebook screens. I have seen engagement and work completion rise since implementing this routine in my classroom. Working in a city is always tough, and especially at a school with many lower-income students. I am forever grateful for your support and kindness.","fullyFundedDate":1757548773837,"projectUrl":"project/streaming-success-tech-for-tomorrows-l/9406853/","projectTitle":"Streaming Success: Tech for Tomorrow’s Leaders!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Thayer","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9700251"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_64022","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":731,"numTeachers":64,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":5,"percentBlack":21,"percentWhite":17,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":53,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"7 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"11.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":64.0,"schoolId":64022,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Worcester East Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Worcester East Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/massachusetts/worcester-public-schools/worcester-east-middle-school/64022"}
