Your generosity has made a real and immediate difference for our students.\r\n\r\nBecause of your support, our classroom now has LED light strips that help create a more comfortable and welcoming learning environment, along with a lava lamp that provides a calming visual for students who need a moment to refocus. Students also enjoy using the many fidgets and the calm strips placed on desks, which give them a healthy sensory outlet while staying engaged in learning.\r\n\r\nYour donations also helped us replace broken lap desks with sturdy new ones so students using our flexible saucer chair seating have a reliable workspace. The wireless keyboard and mouse allow me to move freely around the room while teaching and assisting students, helping lessons run more smoothly. And on days when we can get outside, Spikeball has quickly become a favorite activity that encourages teamwork, movement, and positive social interaction.\r\n\r\nEvery one of these items is being used and appreciated by our students. Thank you for investing in our classroom and helping create an environment where students feel comfortable, supported, and excited to learn.","fullyFundedDate":1760833520543,"projectUrl":"project/creating-an-inviting-environment-inside/9810597/","projectTitle":"Creating an Inviting Environment Inside and Outside the Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Donoghue","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4076090_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1488400065702","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mr-donoghue"},{"teacherId":4075510,"projectId":9656226,"letterContent":"Empowering Students Through BrainPOP Jr.\r\nBrainPOP Jr. has been an absolutely transformative resource in our classroom, particularly for my students who benefit from visual and multi-sensory learning approaches. The platform's short, engaging animated movies, starring Annie and Moby, take complex academic topics—from math and science to social studies—and break them down into digestible, relatable segments. This format is crucial because it significantly reduces cognitive load and provides vital scaffolding that allows my students to access the core curriculum standards they might otherwise find overwhelming in a textbook. The combination of visual, auditory, and written text (via closed captions) ensures that learning is accessible, supportive of various learning paces, and most importantly, highly engaging, which helps us maintain their focus and curiosity where traditional methods often fail.\r\n\r\nBeyond the initial video, BrainPOP Jr. offers powerful, differentiated tools that allow my students to express their understanding in ways that accommodate their diverse learning profiles and IEP goals. The platform's activities, such as \"Draw About It,\" \"Write About It,\" and interactive Challenges, provide multiple pathways for students to demonstrate mastery, moving beyond the constraints of a standard written exam. For example, a student with writing challenges can use the drawing or talk-about-it feature to show conceptual understanding, building confidence and independence. The ability to pause, rewind, and re-watch lessons empowers them to manage their own learning pace. Your donation would ensure we can renew our subscription, keeping this essential tool in our classroom and allowing our students to continue building the core knowledge and self-reliance necessary for their future success.","fullyFundedDate":1756753826799,"projectUrl":"project/big-brains-with-brainpop-jr/9656226/","projectTitle":"Big Brains with BrainPOP Jr.!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Williams","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4075510_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1479232262567","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/williamsbuell"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_71731","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":656,"numTeachers":37,"percentFrplEligible":32,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":90,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":3,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"17.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":89.0,"schoolId":71731,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Muir Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Muir Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/michigan/huron-valley-school-district/muir-middle-school/71731"}
