Your donation of headphones and pop-it hundreds charts has made a remarkable impact on my students. The moment they saw the pop-it charts, their faces lit up with joy. These colorful, interactive tools have transformed the way we approach number patterns and counting to 100. Students who were previously hesitant with math are now eagerly engaging in activities with excitement and confidence. Your gift has turned a simple concept into a hands-on learning adventure that they look forward to every day.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, the new headphones have been a game-changer in our classroom. Before your donation, many students struggled with broken or shared headphones, making it difficult to focus during digital learning sessions. Now, with their own working headphones, they are able to fully engage with educational programs without distractions. The calm, focused environment you've helped create allows each child to learn at their own pace. From all of us in Room 133, thank you for believing in our students and helping make learning both fun and meaningful.","fullyFundedDate":1739130357108,"projectUrl":"project/listen-and-learn-headphones-and-hands-o/9105492/","projectTitle":"Listen and Learn: Headphones and Hands-On Math Fun!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Serrano","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9696757"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_103430","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":619,"numTeachers":46,"percentFrplEligible":65,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":19,"percentWhite":20,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":55,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"13.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":56.0,"schoolId":103430,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Manatee Charter School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Manatee Charter School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/school-district-of-manatee-county/manatee-charter-school/103430"}
