The technology and materials you funded—especially the headphones and dry erase tools—have made a real difference in how my students learn and express themselves. While many people use technology at home for work or entertainment, in our classroom, it's a bridge to learning. For example, the headphones are used daily for digital learning activities and played a major role during our ACCESS testing. Students were able to concentrate better and perform more confidently without background distractions. Outside of testing, they use the headphones during reading and math programs that offer personalized instruction, allowing each student to progress at their own pace.\r\n\r\nOne of the most exciting tools for my students has been the Coogam Wooden Short Vowel Letters. These make phonics come alive for my active learners. Instead of sitting still and struggling with decoding words on a worksheet, they move, match, and build words in a game-like way. The OleFun Dry Erase Pockets are another favorite—they let students practice skills again and again without wasting paper, making learning both fun and sustainable. One student, who was previously shy during lessons, now eagerly participates using these tools and even volunteers to help classmates. Your donations have done more than provide supplies—they've brought joy, confidence, and motivation to our daily learning. Thank you for believing in our students and helping create a classroom where every child can thrive.","fullyFundedDate":1731387601491,"projectUrl":"project/unleashing-creativity-enhancing-learnin/8790342/","projectTitle":"Unleashing Creativity: Enhancing Learning With Innovative Resources","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Munolaki Hidig","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9469776"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_104945","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":400,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":83,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":98,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":1,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"5 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":84.3,"schoolId":104945,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Metro Schools Multi-Cultural College Prep on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Metro Schools Multi-Cultural College Prep","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/minnesota/minnesota-department-of-education/metro-middle-school/104945"}
