I had changed schools and learning a new system was more time-consuming than I could have imagined. I was able to implement my project in a variety of ways. Using the weekly newsletters from the STEMTastic News Project allowed me to teach language arts standards in an engaging and fresh way. For example, I could teach determining the central idea and key details using short, colorful and interesting articles as a scaffold for students who would otherwise be overwhelmed struggling to read the longer text provided in the general curriculum.\r\n\r\nThe students loved all of the scientific topics which allowed us to springboard into great, animated discussions. These discussions gave the students authentic opportunities to use academic and specific vocabulary while enriching their overall knowledge base. Thank you so much for your commitment to children and their education.","fullyFundedDate":1657132996304,"projectUrl":"project/stemtastic-news/6541458/","projectTitle":"STEMTastic News","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Alvarez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5451167_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1528388318061","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5451167"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_46574","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":931,"numTeachers":63,"percentFrplEligible":69,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":83,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":9,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":4,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"14.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":72.1,"schoolId":46574,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Fort McCoy School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Fort McCoy School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/marion-county-public-schools/ft-mccoy-school/46574"}
