This program is a fabulous tool for differentiation in the classroom. Our students have a wide variety of skills and Happy Numbers meets these needs by providing practice at each student's level. \r\n\r\nWhen we finish our daily lessons and students finish their work, I know they can strengthen their math skills in an effective and engaging way. If I need to work with individual students or small groups, the others are completing tasks that will help them develop skills they need to solidify. \r\n\r\nKids of all levels enjoy this program. It addresses those who are above level and below level. The kids love to earn \"rewards\" within the program when they complete tasks.","fullyFundedDate":1733343614926,"projectUrl":"project/happy-numbers-happy-kids/8735181/","projectTitle":"Happy Numbers = Happy Kids","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Wemple","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5700767"},{"teacherId":9706496,"projectId":8702434,"letterContent":"My students were very excited to see the individual geared analog clocks when they arrived. Of course, they wanted to keep them in their desks! After some discussion they all agreed that would NOT be a good idea as it could result in broken clocks.\r\n\r\nIt was interesting to see how many of them were intrigued by the movement of the clock hands. These are the first clocks I have had students use that have the \"seconds\" hand. At first, they seemed to be surprised by how fast that hand moved in comparison to the hour and minute hands which led to a discussion about the relationship between the hands\r\n\r\nWe are just beginning to focus on telling time on analog clocks and their level of understanding varies. I plan to have them practice for a short period of time each day, as repeated practice is needed for them to become independent in this skill. In January we will also use the clocks as a tool to discuss fractions as the clock is a great tool to illustrate halves, thirds, fourths, sixths, and twelfths.","fullyFundedDate":1726070503132,"projectUrl":"project/understand-and-visualize-time-with-analo/8702434/","projectTitle":"Understand and Visualize Time With Analog Clocks","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Langin","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9706496"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_78443","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":277,"numTeachers":19,"percentFrplEligible":21,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":76,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":16,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"14.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":50.9,"schoolId":78443,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Whittier Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Whittier Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/montana/bozeman-school-district-7/whittier-elementary-school/78443"}
