Students eagerly explore new titles, share book recommendations with classmates, and lose themselves in stories during our reading time. The variety and accessibility of books inspire even reluctant readers to take a chance on something new, building confidence and sparking meaningful conversations about what they read.\r\n\r\nThe magnets and marker organization you made possible have also created a simple, clear system for students to know when pencils are available to borrow, helping them focus on learning instead of worrying about supplies.\r\n\r\nYour kindness has not only provided materials, but has also enriched the daily experience of my students—making our classroom a welcoming, organized, and inspiring place to learn.

Thank you so much for your generosity to my Donor's Choose project. The Mr. Sketch markers have been a huge hit in my K-8 Art classroom. Students were so excited to have new markers that were not dried out. The vibrant colors of the new markers have taken their art work to a new level. Having both thin and thick markers has also increased the detail on many different projects.\r\n\r\nIt has been very exciting watching and hearing the excitement my students have had when they realized they had new markers to use. The best part definitely was when they realized that each marker had a different scent. Even a couple of weeks into having them, the students are still trying to guess the scents of each marker. When someone new comes into my room while we are using them, they will definitely have a marker shared with them to guess the scent. \r\n\r\nThanks again for supporting the students at Dallas City Elementary!","fullyFundedDate":1740867651066,"projectUrl":"project/mr-sketch-markers-for-k-8-students/9119464/","projectTitle":"Mr. Sketch Markers for K-8 Students","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Moran","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9085297_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x0,y504&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1687879385519","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9085297"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_26003","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":166,"numTeachers":18,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":92,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":0,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"9.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":73.5,"schoolId":26003,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Dallas Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Dallas Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/illinois/dallas-elementary-school-district-327/dallas-elementary-school/26003"}
