This is my first year teaching at Summit Middle School in Johnston in a level 3 classroom. The unique learning abilities of my students has been nothing that I have ever had before. I have enjoyed learning with the students. \r\n The materials purchased for this project have been utilized in our classroom including the books that we have read and discussed and the social emotional plush faces. Our classroom especially enjoyed the book, \"Kindness is My Superpower\". reminding us all that being kind to everyone can make a difference and can make our own days better. I liked the book about the girl who made mistakes. Realizing that we can start fresh each day has helped my students move on from what has happened yesterday to a new day. \r\n Thank you, again for believing in my classroom and investing in my classroom. I know these books will be used for many years to come.","fullyFundedDate":1750253506562,"projectUrl":"project/social-and-emotional-learning/9356708/","projectTitle":"Social and Emotional Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Caudill","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9809224"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_74787","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1118,"numTeachers":65,"percentFrplEligible":30,"percentAsian":12,"percentBlack":11,"percentWhite":64,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":7,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 7","studentTeacherRatio":"17.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":50.0,"schoolId":74787,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Summit Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Summit Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/iowa/johnston-community-school-district/summit-middle-school/74787"}
