They know they have to treat it well and have high expectations to return the materials back the way they have gotten them. They always ask politely if they may use them.\r\n\r\nWe just finished up short stories by Edgar Allen Poe and students are able to use these materials on their different projects. They will also be able to use them when we cover The Odyssey. My ELL class has been able to use the materials to help color code different parts of English and they have had the opportunity to use them throughout the semester.","fullyFundedDate":1756910273454,"projectUrl":"project/creative-freedom/9575564/","projectTitle":"Creative Freedom","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Skidmore","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8043854_orig.jpg?crop=864,864,x292,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1677166419207","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8043854"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_66731","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":981,"numTeachers":37,"percentFrplEligible":80,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":82,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":12,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"26.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":90.0,"schoolId":66731,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Coldwater High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Coldwater High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/michigan/coldwater-community-schools/coldwater-high-school/66731"}
