Your materials were a hit! Many days, my classroom looks more like a basement study session than a classroom. As I continue to strengthen my personalized learning classroom, students have been given more autonomy to make choices about where and how they learn. Your donations give them interesting and new options to make it feel more like a reward. They have also motivated the students who have not been given the autonomy to move and use the materials yet. Please note that when you look at the pictures, students not only make their work spaces in the classroom, but also the school hallway. You have made such a difference in my classroom and I thank you.","fullyFundedDate":1754853344214,"projectUrl":"project/flexibility-while-working-makes-learning/9521182/","projectTitle":"Flexibility While Working Makes Learning More Powerful","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Kelley","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp50207_orig.jpg?crop=480,480,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1699460931505","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-kelleykipling"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_5418","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":225,"numTeachers":17,"percentFrplEligible":89,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":96,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":2,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"13.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":70.2,"schoolId":5418,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Kipling Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Kipling Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/illinois/chicago-public-school-district-299/kipling-elementary-school/5418"}
