The reusable write & wipe pockets, wide-ruled filler paper, and pre-sharpened pencils have become essential tools during small-group instruction and independent practice. The AFMAT electric pencil sharpener has been a huge hit. Students love watching it work automatically, and it keeps our writing time running smoothly. Our new headphones have transformed center time by helping students stay focused during online lessons, while the magnetic pen holders and small storage bins have made organizing materials easier than ever. Even items like the Flair pens, glue sticks, and hand sanitizer have been added to our classroom routines in meaningful ways, and the snack variety packs have been perfect for motivating students and keeping them energized.\r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity, these resources are now part of our daily learning experience, and they have truly elevated the environment in our classroom. Students feel more confident, more independent, and more excited to learn because they have the tools they need to be successful. Our next steps include expanding our math and ELA centers and integrating more hands-on activities using the write & wipe pockets and new supplies. Your support has made a powerful difference, and my students feel it every single day. We are deeply grateful for the impact you have made on our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1758202994869,"projectUrl":"project/moving-minds-creating-a-classroom-that/9495385/","projectTitle":"Moving Minds: Creating a Classroom That Works for Every Student","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Taylor","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10091241_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753842379388","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10091241"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_8909","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":222,"numTeachers":24,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":97,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":0,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"9.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":58.3,"schoolId":8909,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about South Delta Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"South Delta Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/mississippi/south-delta-school-district/south-delta-elementary-school/8909"}
