As a Two-Way Dual Language math teacher, I serve students who come from diverse backgrounds, many of them recent immigrants or children of immigrants from Latin America. These materials will ensure that every student feels a sense of belonging and pride when they step into our classroom.\r\n\r\nFrom day one, I will use the donated supplies to build an engaging and collaborative learning environment. The markers, colored pencils, sharpeners, and decorations will help us create interactive math posters, colorful anchor charts, and shared resources so that no student feels left out for not bringing their own materials. These tools are not just for learning math, they're for building community and boosting student confidence.\r\n\r\nThis year, I'm especially excited to begin our first unit with activities that include partner projects, group visuals, and bilingual vocabulary walls, all made possible with your donation. Thank you for investing in equity, inclusion, and joy in the classroom. Your support will be felt from the very first day of school.","fullyFundedDate":1746786350902,"projectUrl":"project/supplies-para-aprender-helping-our-eld/9138189/","projectTitle":"Supplies Para Aprender: Helping Our ELD & TWDL Students Shine!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Abril","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9225171_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1694132429289","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9225171"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_64121","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":628,"numTeachers":46,"percentFrplEligible":87,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":4,"percentIndigenous":8,"percentLatinx":82,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"13.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"UNCLASSIFIED","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":67.5,"schoolId":64121,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Pistor Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Pistor Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/arizona/tucson-unified-school-district/pistor-middle-school/64121"}
