In addition, the books are leveled so that children at different reading levels have a choice. I was able to label and put the books in an easy way for students to access as well. \r\n\r\nThis has helped my students become more motivated to read because they have a variety of books, of varied genres, as well. Once they find a series they enjoy, they have several other books to read. My students reading levels have grown just in the 9 weeks of school.\r\n\r\nIt is so awesome to have a platform like Donors Choose. Specifically, it to allow teachers to ask for items that will support the different projects that they might have not been able to do without the funding.

Digital tools allow teachers to adjust lessons in real time based on student progress, provide immediate feedback, and offer targeted practice where students need it most. Students can revisit lessons, watch instructional videos, and use adaptive programs that meet them at their individual skill levels. This has been especially helpful for students who need extra support, English learners, and those who benefit from visual or hands-on learning.\r\n\r\nThe most exciting aspect of the new product for students is how engaging and interactive it is. Students enjoy the gamified elements, multimedia content, and opportunities to take ownership of their learning. They feel more motivated because learning no longer feels passive; instead, they are actively exploring, creating, and problem-solving. Many students are eager to log in, track their progress, and celebrate achievements, which builds confidence and persistence.\r\n\r\nSeveral groups of students have especially warmed to this technology. Students who previously struggled academically are more willing to participate because the platform allows them to work at their own pace without fear of embarrassment. Students with learning differences and those who are typically quiet in class have found their voice through digital activities. Overall, the technology has helped students feel empowered, capable, and excited about learning.","fullyFundedDate":1699741854513,"projectUrl":"project/organized-scholars/8016660/","projectTitle":"Organized Scholars","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Mendoza","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9360578"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_102138","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":117,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":37,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":18,"percentWhite":21,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":51,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":67.0,"schoolId":102138,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Discovery Charter School - Sandhill on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Discovery Charter School - Sandhill","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/nevada/nevada-department-of-education/discovery-charter-school-mesa-vista-campus/102138"}
