The anchor chart holder created one central location for our charts—no more stacking them on tables or taping them to walls. The computer stand also created a designated technology hub where our colored printer could be housed.\r\n\r\nStudents were so excited the first time they saw the setup. Several went straight to the chart holder to find strategies they had learned previously, while others often brought the prints from the computer stand and asked to pass them out. The visibility and easy access have made a noticeable difference—students are more independent, confident, and eager to take ownership of their learning.\r\n\r\nBecause of your support, our classroom now has two essential stations that we use every day. The anchor charts and computer stand have made learning more interactive, organized, and student-centered, and they will continue to support our instruction throughout the year.","fullyFundedDate":1756311402826,"projectUrl":"project/rolling-into-an-organized-and-engaging-c/9459143/","projectTitle":"Rolling Into an Organized and Engaging Classroom!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Gaines","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5489334_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y772&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1677094829687","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/g-gaines"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_94071","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":775,"numTeachers":48,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":32,"percentWhite":11,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":43,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"16.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":44.3,"schoolId":94071,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Dusty Dickens Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Dusty Dickens Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/nevada/clark-county-school-district/dusty-dickens-elementary-school/94071"}
