They have freedom to correct their writing easily without feeling the correction to be labor intensified. \r\n\r\nWe use the whiteboards to jot down themes of the books they read. Students can see what others write and all of my students can share their ideas. They use the boards for letter formation and writing sentences with the proper grammar rules. They even use the boards for quick math facts. They can hold up their answers and I can make a note of those students who need help.\r\n\r\nThanks so much for your generosity in helping my students grow and learn with their writing and math skills.","fullyFundedDate":1755911258932,"projectUrl":"project/show-what-i-know-through-writing/9283739/","projectTitle":"Show What I Know Through Writing","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hansen","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4053306"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_61587","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":204,"numTeachers":12,"percentFrplEligible":48,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":63,"percentIndigenous":10,"percentLatinx":16,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"17.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":80.0,"schoolId":61587,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Joseph City Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Joseph City Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/arizona/joseph-city-unified-school-district/joseph-city-elementary-school/61587"}
