Whether used on whiteboards for lesson presentations, interactive activities, or student-led projects, markers help bring ideas to life. Their vibrant colors not only capture students' attention but also foster creativity in hands-on projects. From drawing diagrams to creating colorful charts or illustrations, markers enable students to express their understanding in dynamic ways. This enhances both the teaching process and the students' ability to retain and engage with the material.\r\n\r\nCurtains in the classroom also contribute significantly to creating a comfortable and conducive learning environment. By controlling natural light, they help reduce glare and create a calm atmosphere, making it easier for students to focus on their work. The right curtains can also allow for privacy during group activities or tests, helping to create a quiet, distraction-free space. In addition, curtains add an element of warmth and personalization to the classroom, creating an inviting space that fosters learning. Together, the markers and curtains are essential tools that help set the stage for successful projects and a productive classroom environment.\r\n\r\nA heartfelt thank you goes out to the generous donors who provided the markers and curtains for the classroom. Your thoughtful contributions have made a remarkable difference in creating an environment where students can thrive. The markers help bring projects and lessons to life, enabling both the teacher and students to engage in creative, hands-on learning. The curtains have created a comfortable and focused atmosphere, allowing students to concentrate without distractions. Your support is truly appreciated, and it is because of your generosity that the classroom can continue to grow and inspire. Thank you for making such a positive impact on the education and well-being of the students.","fullyFundedDate":1739191195748,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-completeness/9101091/","projectTitle":"Classroom Completeness","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Bridges","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7740381_orig.jpg?crop=716,716,x366,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1611947056594","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7740381"},{"teacherId":7740381,"projectId":9096100,"letterContent":"Clorox wipes and copy paper have been essential in maintaining a clean and organized classroom environment, allowing for a more productive and focused learning atmosphere. The Clorox wipes provide a quick and efficient way to disinfect surfaces, helping reduce the spread of germs and ensuring the classroom stays safe for students and the teacher. This is especially important in the current climate, where hygiene and cleanliness are at the forefront of everyone's minds. Having these supplies on hand allows the teacher to quickly wipe down desks, chairs, and shared materials, giving everyone peace of mind and creating a healthier learning space.\r\n\r\nCopy paper is another crucial resource that has greatly benefited the classroom. It enables the teacher to print important worksheets, activities, and handouts that are essential to the students' learning. The availability of this paper makes it easier for the teacher to provide a wide variety of educational resources, which helps keep students engaged and supports their learning in multiple formats. With plenty of copy paper, the teacher can be flexible with teaching materials, knowing they have the resources they need to deliver lessons effectively and cater to the diverse needs of the students.\r\n\r\nA heartfelt thank you goes out to the generous individuals who donated these much-needed supplies. Your contributions have made a significant difference in the classroom, and the teacher truly appreciates your support. These donations not only help with daily classroom tasks but also demonstrate the kindness and commitment of the community toward fostering a positive educational environment. The teacher is incredibly grateful for this support, as it allows them to focus on what truly matters: helping the students thrive in their learning journey. Your generosity is a gift that positively impacts both the teacher and the students, and for that, we are all deeply thankful.","fullyFundedDate":1738762883596,"projectUrl":"project/the-finish-line-is-near/9096100/","projectTitle":"The Finish Line is Near!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Bridges","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7740381_orig.jpg?crop=716,716,x366,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1611947056594","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7740381"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_106498","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":201,"numTeachers":22,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":59,"percentWhite":33,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":4,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"9.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":52.6,"schoolId":106498,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Shannon Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Shannon Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/mississippi/lee-county-school-district/shannon-middle-school/106498"}
