Starting in a new classroom gave me the opportunity to create a space that feels welcoming, organized, and ready for students to learn, and your support helped make that possible. My fifth- and sixth-grade students were excited to see the new supplies and have materials that were ready for them to use. These resources may seem like small things, but they have helped transform our classroom into a space where students feel prepared, comfortable, and excited to learn.\r\n\r\nWe are using these supplies every day during our ELA lessons, from independent work and small-group activities to collaborative projects and creative assignments. Having the materials we need readily available allows my fifth- and sixth-grade students to focus on learning, creating, and working together rather than worrying about whether they have the supplies they need. As we continue through the school year, these resources will support engaging writing projects, hands-on learning activities, group work, and opportunities for students to share their ideas and grow as readers and writers. Thank you for investing in my fifth- and sixth-grade students and helping me give them a classroom where they can feel a sense of belonging and come ready to learn each day. Your generosity has helped our new classroom get off to an incredible start, and I am so grateful!","fullyFundedDate":1784563134300,"projectUrl":"project/a-new-chapter-a-new-classroom/10288292/","projectTitle":"A New Chapter, A New Classroom!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Lancaster","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8658443_orig.jpg?crop=2208,2208,x78,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1784400100183","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8658443"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_80494","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":146,"numTeachers":25,"percentFrplEligible":2,"percentAsian":22,"percentBlack":10,"percentWhite":56,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":6,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":4,"gradesServed":"K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"5.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":100.0,"schoolId":80494,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Alpine Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Alpine Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-jersey/alpine-public-schools/alpine-elementary-school/80494"}
