Your support brought more than just color to our supplies — it brought energy, creativity, and excitement into our learning.\r\n\r\nWith the markers you provided, my students were able to create vibrant and meaningful projects that brought history to life. From ancient civilization posters to interactive timelines, they used the markers to design visual projects that helped them better understand geography, cultures, and important parts of each civilization. One of the highlights was watching students work in groups to illustrate key features of civilizations like Egypt and China.\r\n\r\nThe ability to express their learning through art helped students connect more deeply with the material and gave many of them a chance to shine in ways that traditional assignments don't always allow. Your gift empowered creativity, boosted engagement, and helped turn Social Studies into something they could see, touch, and be proud of.\r\n\r\nThank you again for making a difference in our classroom. Your generosity is helping grow curious, confident learners who are excited to explore the past.","fullyFundedDate":1739374640066,"projectUrl":"project/hands-on-learning-in-social-studies/8981920/","projectTitle":"Hands-On Learning in Social Studies!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Baxter","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8134609_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1739568422090","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8134609"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_77792","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":264,"numTeachers":26,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":88,"percentWhite":4,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":2,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"10.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":44.9,"schoolId":77792,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Wedgwood 6th Grade Center on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Wedgwood 6th Grade Center","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/missouri/ferguson-florissant-school-district-r2/wedgwood-elementary-school/77792"}
