We have incorporated them into small-group instruction, whole-group lessons, and independent practice, allowing students to engage more deeply with reading and math tasks. One moment that stood out was during a guided reading lesson when a student who often hesitates to participate eagerly raised their hand to explain their thinking using the new materials—something they had not felt confident enough to do before.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the materials, their excitement was immediate. They were curious, engaged, and eager to begin using them right away. Several students commented on how the resources made learning feel \"easier\" and more fun, which has translated into greater focus and perseverance during lessons. The sense of ownership and pride they feel knowing these tools were donated specifically for them has had a positive impact on classroom culture as well.\r\n\r\nMoving forward, these resources will continue to support our current classroom lessons by helping students practice key skills, collaborate with peers, and build independence as learners. We are using them to reinforce grade-level standards, provide targeted support for students who need it most, and extend learning opportunities for those who are ready for a challenge. Because of your support, my students are better equipped to grow academically and believe in their ability to succeed. Thank you for making a lasting difference in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1758498709990,"projectUrl":"project/organized-for-success-launching-bright/9626980/","projectTitle":"Organized for Success: Launching Bright Futures","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Manning","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8070834_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1710079848929","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8070834"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_44706","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":312,"numTeachers":25,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":85,"percentWhite":3,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":5,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"12.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":77.4,"schoolId":44706,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Marjorie K Rawlings Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Marjorie K Rawlings Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/alachua-county-school-district/marjorie-k-rawlings-elementary-school/44706"}
