Because of your kindness, our students now have growth mindset journals and student clocks to use every day in our classroom.\r\n\r\nThe growth mindset journals will help students reflect on their learning, set goals, and build confidence as they work through challenges. These journals encourage students to understand that mistakes are part of learning and that effort leads to growth. This is such an important life skill that will benefit them far beyond the classroom.\r\n\r\nThe student clocks will provide hands-on opportunities for students to practice telling time and strengthen their math skills in an engaging and interactive way. Having individual clocks allows every student to participate actively and build independence during lessons.\r\n\r\nYour generosity is making a direct impact on our students' learning experiences and helping create a positive, supportive classroom environment where all students can grow academically and emotionally. We are truly grateful for your support and belief in our students.","fullyFundedDate":1715103638545,"projectUrl":"project/starting-and-finishing-strong/8325077/","projectTitle":"Starting and Finishing Strong","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Frank","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp1398662_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1448329333428","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/lisafrank"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_84070","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":320,"numTeachers":19,"percentFrplEligible":90,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":35,"percentWhite":33,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":9,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":17,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"16.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":75.6,"schoolId":84070,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about West Mound Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"West Mound Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/ohio/columbus-city-school-district/west-mound-elementary-school/84070"}
