This has certainly been the case for my high schoolers and I in our English classroom this year. Thanks to your help, students have been able to learn around the room, personalize our walls, and build successful classroom routines. Without your contributions, I would not have been able to give them the classroom they deserve. \r\n\r\nYour contributions have helped us stay organized and be successful. With the help of our new bookshelves, students have spaces dedicated to the work they need for class, the work they need to turn in, and projects they are still working on. This has allowed me to build routines that teach students responsibility and provide a sense of predictability in our classroom. \r\n\r\nAlong with structure, your donations have supplied students with choices of how and where to do their work. Thanks to the stools, students have been able to move their seats to collaborate with others or work independently around the room. Thanks to the extension cords, students have been able to charge their Chromebooks at the end of the day, making classwork more accessible and solving problems. \r\n\r\nAs a result of your contributions, students have reported a calm, productive atmosphere in our classroom. The systems we have been able to put in place have provided structure, the seating has provided flexibility, and the lighting has provided students a peaceful setting to demonstrate their intelligence and creativity. It has made my year hearing how organized and motivated they feel in my classroom, and all of that is thanks to you. \r\n\r\nYour generosity has made our classroom into a place that inspires students and that I look forward to being in every single day. Our community would not be the same without the selfless donors like you who value education and ensure that both students and teachers have what they need to be the best they can be. Like the rest of my colleagues, I look forward to continuing to serve the Plainville Community Schools and I am incredibly humbled by your support. Thank you for being a part of my story and what makes our community so wonderful.","fullyFundedDate":1785789515847,"projectUrl":"project/my-first-high-school-classroom/10424533/","projectTitle":"My First High School Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Jones","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10378708"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_43749","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":671,"numTeachers":63,"percentFrplEligible":45,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":6,"percentWhite":59,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":24,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":5,"gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"10.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":85.7,"schoolId":43749,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Plainville High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Plainville High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/connecticut/plainville-community-school-district/plainville-high-school/43749"}
