The new resources have allowed us to utilize our online assignments and activities I a different light. Because all of my students were not fortunate enough to purchase headphones, the donations helped tremendously. For example, we use IXL for math and ELA, in order for them to be successful, they need to use headphones. The headphones help them to make better decisions while practicing their skills and taking assessments. When my students used the ten-frames, it was so very helpful. In the past, I only had 4 boards, with the donation, every student is able to have their own ten-frame to use. Having their own ten-frame to utilize, makes learning even easier!\r\n\r\nThe students were so excited when they saw the headphones and ten-frame boards. They all loved the fact that they had their own ten-frame to use during math. They now have a greater understanding of adding and subtracting within 10; and the headphones make activities and assignments easier. Our next steps, are just to continue to utilize the materials to their capacity. With the school year coming to an end, we will continue using the headphones and using the ten-frames for review.","fullyFundedDate":1769177163891,"projectUrl":"project/a-ten-framed-math-experience/9941767/","projectTitle":"A Ten-Framed Math Experience","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Wesley","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9567424"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_5962","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":455,"numTeachers":8,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":92,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":6,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":0,"gradesServed":"K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"56.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":66.8,"schoolId":5962,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Legacy Charter School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Legacy Charter School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/illinois/chicago-public-school-district-299/legacy-charter-school/5962"}
