Because of your kindness, my students now have access to valuable resources that are helping them become stronger readers, writers, thinkers, and communicators.\r\nIn today's world, students are surrounded by technology and increasingly rely on artificial intelligence and digital tools to find answers quickly. While technology certainly has its place, I wanted my students to experience the power of discovering words in the traditional way. Thanks to your generosity, they are learning how to build their vocabulary through exploration, curiosity, and critical thinking rather than simply receiving instant answers.\r\nThe dictionaries have become much more than books sitting on a shelf. They are tools my students reach for when they encounter unfamiliar words in reading, when they want to check the meaning of a term, or when they are working to improve their writing. Instead of guessing or relying on a device, they are learning how to locate words, examine definitions, understand multiple meanings, identify parts of speech, and discover proper usage. These are foundational skills that help students become independent learners.","fullyFundedDate":1780699462030,"projectUrl":"project/put-the-technology-down-and-look-in-a-bo/10263131/","projectTitle":"Put the technology down and Look in a book!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Dukes","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5226365"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_50292","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":707,"numTeachers":47,"percentFrplEligible":72,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":48,"percentWhite":28,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":15,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":5,"gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"15.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":61.4,"schoolId":50292,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Herschel Jones Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Herschel Jones Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/georgia/paulding-county-school-district/herschel-jones-middle-school/50292"}
