It's a mix of independence, collaboration, and those little \"aha!\" moments that make teaching worth it.\r\n\r\nStudents are very excited about the new books. A couple of my reluctant readers have suddenly started asking for \"just five more minutes,\" which is a great win. It's been amazing to watch their confidence grow. The new books have sparked excitement across the board, and our classroom feels more energized because of them.\r\n\r\nAll of these books have a great moral lesson and have led to some great conversations in class. It has been wonderful to see how much the students have developed a love for their character and want to share their character's trials and tribulations with others, creating a community of empathy and kindness for others!","fullyFundedDate":1761235715656,"projectUrl":"project/lets-get-students-off-their-devices/9769499/","projectTitle":"Let's Get Students Off Their Devices!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. T.","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7535326_orig.png?crop=943,943,x94,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1759073817167","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7535326"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_71650","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":436,"numTeachers":30,"percentFrplEligible":47,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":3,"percentWhite":80,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":8,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"14.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":100.0,"schoolId":71650,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Brandon Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Brandon Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/michigan/brandon-school-district/brandon-middle-school/71650"}
