My students and I truly appreciate your kindness and support of our learning.\r\n\r\nThe classroom mailbox has already become a favorite. It gives students an authentic way to practice writing letters, addressing envelopes, and delivering mail to one another. This has helped strengthen their writing, reading, and communication skills in a fun and meaningful way.\r\n\r\nWe are also very thankful for the headsets for our Chromebooks. They help students focus during online lessons, assessments, and reading activities, allowing them to work at their own pace without distractions. The headsets have made a big difference in supporting independent learning.\r\n\r\nThe Newton's cradle and Galileo thermometer have sparked so much curiosity and excitement. These tools provide students with hands-on opportunities to explore science concepts, such as motion, energy, and temperature, making learning more engaging and memorable. The whiteboard erasers are also greatly appreciated, as they help keep our classroom organized and ready for daily instruction and practice.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has made a positive impact on both my 3rd and 4th-grade students. Thank you for supporting our classroom and helping create an environment where students are excited to learn.","fullyFundedDate":1761086299105,"projectUrl":"project/tools-for-focused-learning-headphones/9768575/","projectTitle":"Tools for Focused Learning: Headphones, Supplies, and Science Fun","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hull","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2365850_orig.jpg?crop=550,550,x134,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1715824573036","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2365850"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_28767","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":371,"numTeachers":23,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":4,"percentWhite":18,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":73,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"16.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":73.8,"schoolId":28767,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Oakhill Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Oakhill Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/illinois/elgin-school-district-u-46/oakhill-elementary-school/28767"}
