You've truly made a big difference in my students' daily lives and learning experiences, and we're all so grateful for your kindness.\r\n\r\nThe new computers have completely changed the way my students learn and interact in the classroom. They use them every day for so many things, and it's been incredible to see how much more engaged they are. For example, the computers have made taking quizzes so much easier and quicker. The instant feedback is a game-changer because it helps the students understand what they're doing well and where they need to improve right away.\r\n\r\nOne of the coolest changes is how we now do daily exit tickets. These quick reflections at the end of each lesson let the students share what they've learned and help me see how they're progressing. With the new computers, it's super simple and efficient, and it's become an important part of our routine.\r\n\r\nWe've also had so much fun using platforms like Kahoot and Quizizz. These tools turn learning into a game, and the kids absolutely love it. Even the ones who are usually a little shy get so excited to participate. The classroom is filled with laughter and energy during these activities, and it's all thanks to your donation.\r\n\r\nThe students have told me how much they appreciate not having to share Chromebooks anymore. Having their own computer makes them feel more independent and confident in their work. One student told me, \"It's so nice to have my own computer. I can focus better and get more done.\" Seeing how much this means to them is truly heartwarming.\r\n\r\nAs a teacher, it's so rewarding to see the impact your generosity has had. So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you again for your incredible generosity. We're so lucky to have your support.","fullyFundedDate":1727458427934,"projectUrl":"project/21st-century-tech/8806559/","projectTitle":"21st Century Tech!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Kaur","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8552381_orig.jpg?crop=1469,1470,x0,y205&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1659131372689","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8552381"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_3883","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1002,"numTeachers":29,"percentFrplEligible":59,"percentAsian":22,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":8,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":55,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"34.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":87.4,"schoolId":3883,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Newark Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Newark Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/newark-unified-school-district/newark-junior-high-school/3883"}
