Because of your kindness, our self-contained special education classroom now has a mobile room divider that is already making a meaningful difference for my students. Your donation provided a tool that is both practical and versatile, and we are so grateful to have it.\r\n\r\nThe divider has quickly become an essential part of our daily routines. We use it to create separate student stations, giving students the privacy and structure they need to stay focused on their work. It has also been used as a mobile calming zone, allowing us to bring a quiet, safe space directly to a student when needed. This flexibility has helped our students feel more comfortable and supported throughout the school day.\r\n\r\nIn addition, the divider's magnetic whiteboard and felt board features have been especially valuable for instruction and student engagement. We can post visual prompts with Velcro, write reminders, and display learning materials in a way that is clear and accessible to all learners. Thank you for giving my students this wonderful resource—it has truly enriched our classroom environment, and we couldn't have done it without you.","fullyFundedDate":1752889893055,"projectUrl":"project/enhancing-learning-environments-with-a-f/9448080/","projectTitle":"Enhancing Learning Environments with a Flexible Room Divider","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Minton","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10071838_orig.jpg?crop=262,262,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1751853381701","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10071838"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_26623","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":419,"numTeachers":29,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":94,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":1,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"3 - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"14.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":77.3,"schoolId":26623,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Frankfort Intermediate School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Frankfort Intermediate School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/illinois/frankfort-community-unit-school-district-168/frankfort-intermediate-school/26623"}
