I have seen a high level of engagement with these games, and I have received only very positive comments from my students about the additional games we can now practice math with. You, the generous donors to my project, have brought about increased engagement and with that increased mastery of skills, and for that I am very thankful.","fullyFundedDate":1757891187412,"projectUrl":"project/math-practice-in-color/9611820/","projectTitle":"Math Practice in Color","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Sarmiento","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9252273"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_41801","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":657,"numTeachers":43,"percentFrplEligible":50,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":15,"percentWhite":39,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":29,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"15.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":53.0,"schoolId":41801,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Carson Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Carson Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/colorado/fountain-fort-carson-sd-8/carson-middle-school/41801"}
