Your donation brought technology into our classroom in a way that made learning more interactive, engaging, enjoyable for my students.\r\n\r\nAlthough the original project was designed to incorporate both social studies and music, the music component was no longer available to purchase. However, the iPod still became a valuable learning tool for my students. Because it arrived during the final four weeks of the school year, we used it to help students practice and prepare for their US Constitution test.\r\n\r\nThe students were excited to use technology as part of their studying. Instead of simply reviewing notes or completing traditional worksheets, they were able to interact with the material and receive immediate feedback. This made their practice more engaging and gave them an opportunity to identify what they understood and what they needed to review. The excitement surrounding the technology also encouraged students to spend more time practicing and reviewing important concepts.\r\n\r\nYour generosity provided more than just a piece of technology. It gave my students a new way to approach learning and made test preparation feel more interactive and rewarding. I am grateful that this resource will continue to be available for future students as we explore all classroom subjects. \r\n\r\nThank you for investing in my students and helping make learning more engaging. Your support truly made a difference in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1776456677320,"projectUrl":"project/social-studies-discovery-through-the-art/9966227/","projectTitle":"Social Studies Discovery Through the Arts","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Sarich","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4677085"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_99379","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":326,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":90,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":97,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":0,"gradesServed":"K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":58.1,"schoolId":99379,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Sandra Cisneros Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Sandra Cisneros Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/illinois/chicago-public-school-district-299/uno-charter-school-gage-park/99379"}
