Thanks to your support, my students have received much-needed headphones and hands-on activity supplies. These resources have already made a significant impact on our learning environment. The headphones have been invaluable for our reading activities, allowing students to focus on their science text and other literacy programs without distractions. I've seen a noticeable improvement in their reading comprehension and fluency as they are able to engage more deeply with the material. The hands-on supplies have brought science concepts to life, enabling students to explore and experiment in ways that were previously impossible. They are now actively participating in experiments, asking insightful questions, and truly grasping complex ideas.\r\n\r\nThe difference these materials have made is truly remarkable. I've witnessed a surge in my students' enthusiasm for learning, and their confidence has grown exponentially. The headphones have not only improved their reading skills but also fostered independent learning habits. The hands-on activities have transformed abstract scientific concepts into tangible experiences, making learning more engaging and memorable. Your generosity has directly contributed to their academic success and has ignited a passion for learning that I know will benefit them for years to come. Thank you for investing in my students' education and for believing in their potential. Your kindness has made a lasting difference!","fullyFundedDate":1731524588673,"projectUrl":"project/science-scholars-need-interventions-and/8728581/","projectTitle":"Science Scholars Need Interventions and Hands-On Activities","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Thurman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9701834_orig.png?crop=342,342,x71,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1725145467769","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9701834"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_100866","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":573,"numTeachers":39,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":93,"percentWhite":2,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":3,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"14.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":42.5,"schoolId":100866,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Cardozo Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Cardozo Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/mississippi/jackson-public-school-district/cardozo-middle-school/100866"}
