My students loved listening and reading the books that have the growth mindset tools to overcome and persevere through any challenge they may face. They now use these growth mindset skills in and out of the classroom with their peers and conversations. When faced with a challenging math problem they can use these to refer back to. Students enjoy also reading these independently and with a partner.","fullyFundedDate":1726669745476,"projectUrl":"project/growing-minds/8606045/","projectTitle":"Growing Minds","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Bride-Perez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9275757_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1697773432225","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9275757"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_53534","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":368,"numTeachers":18,"percentFrplEligible":76,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":3,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":91,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"20.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":42.2,"schoolId":53534,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Locust Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Locust Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/fontana-unified-school-district/locust-elementary-school/53534"}
