The culturally relevant books, data binders, markers, and colored pencils you provided are being used daily and have already made a meaningful impact on both learning and student confidence.\r\n\r\nThe new books have been especially powerful. My students are seeing themselves, their families, and their experiences reflected in what they read. This has increased engagement, improved reading stamina, and sparked thoughtful conversations. Students who were once reluctant readers are now eager to choose books, discuss characters, and make personal connections to stories that feel real and relevant to their lives.\r\n\r\nThe data binders have helped students take ownership of their learning. Students are tracking their progress, setting goals, and reflecting on growth in reading and math. This has shifted the mindset in our classroom—students now see learning as something they can understand, measure, and improve with effort.\r\n\r\nThe markers and colored pencils have brought creativity and pride into student work. Whether annotating texts, organizing thinking in binders, or creating visual responses to reading, students are more invested in their work and take greater care in what they produce.\r\n\r\nTogether, these materials have created a classroom environment that is inclusive, engaging, and student-centered. Most importantly, your support showed my students that people believe in them and value their education. That message alone has made a lasting impact.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in my students and helping create a classroom where learning feels meaningful, empowering, and joyful.","fullyFundedDate":1766462195633,"projectUrl":"project/engaging-5th-grade-scholars-with-hands-/9898739/","projectTitle":"“Engaging 5th Grade Scholars With Hands-On Literacy & Social Studies”","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Reardon","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10352049_orig.jpg?crop=2100,2100,x0,y266&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1763322033422","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10352049"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_69014","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":366,"numTeachers":24,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":30,"percentWhite":31,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":10,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"15.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":58.3,"schoolId":69014,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Hunt Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Hunt Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/michigan/jackson-public-school-district/hunt-elementary-school/69014"}
