The arrival of our new supplies—pencils, a pencil sharpener, and white board markers—has truly made a meaningful difference in our daily routines and learning experiences.\r\n\r\nThe excitement was immediate and heartwarming. When the students first saw the new materials, their faces lit up with joy. For many of them, something as simple as a fresh pencil or working Expo marker was a big deal. We use expo markers for solving math problems daily. \r\n\r\nWe've already put the supplies to great use. Recently, the students worked on a collaborative math project where they solved multi-step problems in small groups using whiteboards and the new Expo markers. They were more engaged, confident, and willing to take risks knowing they could easily erase and try again. The pencil sharpener has also been a huge hit—it keeps everyone focused and ready to learn without having to wait in line or deal with broken pencils. We've had bad luck with pencil sharpeners not working correctly and this one brings them joy to sharpen their pencil and gives their pencils a great point. \r\n\r\nThanks to your support, my students have the tools they need to succeed and feel proud of their learning environment. Your kindness has left a lasting impact!","fullyFundedDate":1737516576647,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-daily-essential-needs/9056256/","projectTitle":"Classroom Daily Essential Needs","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hernandez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8496575_orig.png?crop=512,512,x0,y15&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1736870980993","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8496575"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_64040","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":258,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":87,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":3,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":95,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":72.3,"schoolId":64040,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Academia Del Pueblo on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Academia Del Pueblo","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/arizona/arizona-department-of-education/academia-charter-school/64040"}
