Because of your support, I was able to start this school year with the fundamental building blocks our classroom needed. As a teacher who works with several different groups of students throughout the day, having the right supplies ready from day one changed the entire energy of my room. Instead of worrying about whether we had enough to go around, I could focus entirely on welcoming my students into a space that felt professional, prepared, and supportive.\r\nRight now, we are using these materials to launch our first major literacy and organization project. Students are learning how to categorize their thoughts and manage their daily assignments using the very resources you provided. For my different rotating groups, these basics allow for a seamless transition; every student, regardless of which group they are in, has exactly what they need to dive straight into the lesson.","fullyFundedDate":1763490971704,"projectUrl":"project/starting-the-year-with-the-basics/9501701/","projectTitle":"Starting the Year With the Basics","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Reyes","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8394593_orig.jpg?crop=2191,2191,x0,y299&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1652371131482","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/msreyescpt"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_7734","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":235,"numTeachers":15,"percentFrplEligible":87,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":33,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":64,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"15.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":69.5,"schoolId":7734,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Ralph Bunche Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Ralph Bunche Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/compton-unified-school-district/ralph-bunche-elementary-school/7734"}
