We are using them during small-group instruction, independent practice, and creative project time to deepen understanding and engagement. One especially memorable moment was watching students collaborate confidently on a classroom project, using the materials to problem-solve, share ideas, and explain their thinking to one another with pride.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the materials, their reactions said it all—wide eyes, excitement, and immediate curiosity. They couldn't wait to explore and ask questions. Several students even said it felt like \"real learning tools\" that made them feel more responsible and capable. That excitement has carried over into increased focus, motivation, and participation.\r\n\r\nBecause of your support, donors were able to step into our classroom and truly impact our learning environment. These resources have helped create a space where students feel supported, inspired, and confident in their abilities. Moving forward, we are continuing to build on this momentum by using the materials in our current lessons and upcoming projects, encouraging creativity, critical thinking, and collaboration. Your generosity has made a lasting difference, and my students are growing not just academically, but in confidence and joy for learning.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in my students and investing in their success 💙","fullyFundedDate":1688740161563,"projectUrl":"project/organized-classroom-setup/7480953/","projectTitle":"Organized Classroom Setup","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Hopkins","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8954672_orig.jpg?crop=1134,1134,x0,y7&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1688603747322","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8954672"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_59333","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":151,"numTeachers":16,"percentFrplEligible":52,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":5,"percentWhite":9,"percentIndigenous":5,"percentLatinx":77,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"9.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":65.4,"schoolId":59333,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Lew Wallace Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Lew Wallace Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-mexico/albuquerque-public-schools/lew-wallace-elementary-school/59333"}
