Annie and Moby have become instant favorites in our room! Before diving into a new reading skill or unit, we watch short BrainPOP Jr. videos to build background knowledge and vocabulary. The colorful animations and clear, kid-friendly explanations break down big ideas—like main idea, character traits, phonics patterns, and sequencing—into manageable pieces. After watching, my students eagerly test their understanding using the online quizzes, interactive games, and \"Easy Quiz\" features.\r\n\r\nThis resource has been a true game-changer, especially for my visual and auditory learners, as well as students who need extra reinforcement to feel confident. Learning has become an exciting, multi-sensory experience where students actively participate, discuss what they watched, and apply those skills directly to their independent reading and writing. Thank you for giving my first graders the tools to grow, stay curious, and love learning every single day!","fullyFundedDate":1790800008696,"projectUrl":"project/pop-learning/10546956/","projectTitle":"Pop Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Lipinski","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6523465_orig.jpg?crop=576,576,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1708700109042","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/thankyouflex"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_42723","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":740,"numTeachers":70,"percentFrplEligible":44,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":6,"percentWhite":67,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":11,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":11,"gradesServed":"K - 3","studentTeacherRatio":"10.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":72.7,"schoolId":42723,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Lansing Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Lansing Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/kansas/lansing-unified-school-district-469/lansing-elementary-school/42723"}
