The maps have changed the trajectory of our lessons—helping scholars make powerful connections between the Social Studies standards and the places where those moments actually unfolded.\r\nDuring our Civil War unit, students no longer struggle to imagine where key events took place. Now, they can see the movement of troops, the locations of major battles, and how geography shaped both strategy and outcome. These visual tools have brought to life the stories of our nation and our state, turning abstract concepts into meaningful discoveries.\r\nThe maps have also increased engagement and comprehension across all levels of learners. Scholars who once had difficulty connecting historical content now eagerly trace events, discuss regional influences, and link the past to the present. Each day, I see their confidence grow as they make sense of history spatially and visually.\r\nBecause of your kindness, our classroom feels more alive, connected, and curious. You have helped students move beyond memorization toward true understanding—seeing history not as words in a book, but as living events that shaped the world around them.\r\nThank you for believing in my students and for making this level of learning possible. Your donation has left a lasting mark on both their education and their enthusiasm for learning.","fullyFundedDate":1747150826409,"projectUrl":"project/visual-maps-for-social-studies/9292695/","projectTitle":"Visual Maps for Social Studies","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Riordan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10007929_orig.jpg?crop=869,869,x95,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1745873694453","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10007929"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_54372","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":420,"numTeachers":36,"percentFrplEligible":83,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":52,"percentWhite":14,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":27,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"11.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":25.2,"schoolId":54372,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Mills Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Mills Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/arkansas/pulaski-county-special-school-district/fuller-middle-school/54372"}
