These materials have already transformed the way we learn each day. The whiteboard markers and organizer chart have made it easier for students to collaborate during small group lessons, while the rug and flexible seating have created a welcoming space where students feel comfortable, focused, and ready to learn.\r\n\r\nI'll never forget the excitement on my students' faces the first day they walked in and saw the rug and new seating options. Many of them immediately found their \"favorite spot\" and couldn't wait to sit and share ideas with their classmates. The organizer chart has also become a favorite tool—students love using it to track our goals and progress, which has given them a sense of ownership in their learning.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we will continue using these resources daily in reading groups, math discussions, and collaborative projects. The rug and flexible seating will remain a central part of our classroom, giving students a comfortable environment to share ideas, while the chart and whiteboard markers will keep supporting active participation and goal-setting. Your support has not only provided supplies but has also inspired a classroom culture of collaboration, comfort, and curiosity. Thank you for believing in my students and making a lasting difference in their learning journey.","fullyFundedDate":1746786224943,"projectUrl":"project/you-make-a-difference/9137262/","projectTitle":"You Make a Difference!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Corbes “O_Panthers”","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9322235_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1696879180278","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9322235"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_63800","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":189,"numTeachers":14,"percentFrplEligible":87,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":2,"percentIndigenous":2,"percentLatinx":93,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"13.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":69.0,"schoolId":63800,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Ochoa Community School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Ochoa Community School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/arizona/tucson-unified-school-district/ochoa-elementary-school/63800"}
