As soon as they saw the materials, they couldn't wait to start using them. The excitement in the room was contagious, and it made learning feel even more engaging and hands-on.\r\n\r\nWe have been using these resources during our small-group instruction, independent practice, and intervention time. One of my favorite moments was watching students who normally struggle with staying engaged become excited to participate because they were able to use the new materials. Seeing their confidence grow as they practiced new skills reminded me how much the right resources can make a difference.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has created a classroom environment where students are eager to learn, explore, and take risks. The new materials have allowed me to provide more meaningful, interactive lessons that meet the needs of all learners.\r\n\r\nAs we continue through the school year, these resources will be used to strengthen reading, math, and problem-solving skills through hands-on activities and collaborative learning. My students are excited for the upcoming projects and learning centers where they'll continue building confidence and celebrating their progress.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in my students and investing in their education. Your kindness has made a lasting impact on our classroom, and we are incredibly grateful for your support!","fullyFundedDate":1767189055144,"projectUrl":"project/special-education-accommodations/9698465/","projectTitle":"Special Education Accommodations","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Dorgan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8421183_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1757366061446","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8421183"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_58356","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":514,"numTeachers":34,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":10,"percentWhite":59,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":14,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":3,"percentMultiracialImputed":12,"gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"15.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":72.7,"schoolId":58356,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about James I Tichenor Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"James I Tichenor Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/kentucky/erlanger-elsmere-independent-school-district/james-i-tichenor-middle-school/58356"}
