Thank you truly for funding my project. \r\nThis project was first thought up by me once I realized that students kept losing their work, or didn't have anywhere to put important paper la they were given. I thought that if they could have their own space to put these things that their organization and learning would improve. And it did! When my students saw the supplies and realized some of it was solely for them, they were very very excited! They really enjoy each having their own binder filled with materials for them and their own work! \r\n\r\nThis binder helps my students stay organized throughout their entire day and all their lessons! They have a specific section for each subject. In their binders they have class work, worksheets, and graphic organizers. They have access to all they need right there with them! This has really helped my classroom and I am so grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1730309302171,"projectUrl":"project/organization-with-ms-armstrong/8903117/","projectTitle":"Organization with Ms. Armstrong","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Armstrong","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9815897"},{"teacherId":9710115,"projectId":8709126,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous contributions, our 4th-grade classroom has been transformed into a hub of discovery and exploration. With the hands-on science materials provided through this project, my students have been able to dive into exciting experiments and investigations that bring abstract concepts to life. From building circuits to understanding the water cycle, these activities have sparked curiosity and a deeper understanding of the world around them. Every lesson has become an opportunity to ask questions, explore solutions, and develop critical thinking skills that will serve them for years to come.\r\n\r\nThe excitement and engagement in our classroom are palpable. Students who once hesitated to participate are now confidently collaborating and sharing their insights. They are not only learning science but also experiencing the joy of discovery and the power of teamwork. This project has truly enriched their learning experience and inspired them to see themselves as future scientists, engineers, and problem-solvers. Your support has made a lasting difference, and my students and I are deeply grateful for your kindness and belief in their potential.","fullyFundedDate":1733348491882,"projectUrl":"project/hands-on-science-adventures-bringing-4t/8709126/","projectTitle":"Hands-On Science Adventures: Bringing 4th Grade Science to Life","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Kim","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9710115"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_103436","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":491,"numTeachers":25,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":10,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":83,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"19.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":77.6,"schoolId":103436,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Gerald A Lawson Academy of the Arts Mathematics & Science on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Gerald A Lawson Academy of the Arts Mathematics & Science","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/los-angeles-unified-school-district/south-region-elementary-school-11/103436"}
