These boards make mathematical ideas more visible and give students the confidence to engage in classroom discussions.\r\n\r\nThe headphones have been equally powerful. During independent or small-group work, students can now focus on their digital math tools and educational programs without distraction. For many, this is the first time they've had reliable headphones to use, and the difference in their ability to stay engaged and on task is noticeable.\r\n\r\nBecause of your support, our classroom is better equipped to meet students' needs equitably. The supplies you funded help create a learning environment where every child has the chance to participate fully, focus deeply, and share their mathematical thinking proudly. Your generosity has made a lasting difference, and my students and I are truly grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1683666868322,"projectUrl":"project/essential-school-supplies/7286451/","projectTitle":"Essential School Supplies","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Ruiz","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3802557_orig.jpg?crop=1080,1080,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755213701625","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/movingwithmrsruiz"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_46673","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":390,"numTeachers":29,"percentFrplEligible":83,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":13,"percentWhite":22,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":60,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"13.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":61.5,"schoolId":46673,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Dover Shores Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Dover Shores Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/orange-county-public-schools/dover-shores-elementary-school/46673"}
