Because of your kindness, my students now have access to supplies that make our classroom a more organized, engaging, and welcoming place to learn. I am incredibly grateful to have received so many materials that will make a difference in our everyday classroom activities. \r\n\r\nOne of the most valuable additions to our classroom has been the set of dry erase boards and markers. In Physical Science, students use these boars to work through practice problems, show their calculations, check for understanding, and even play review games. They allow students to practice without worrying about making mistakes and give me an easy way to see who understands material and who may need additional help. In Forensics, the boards are awesome for reviewing concepts, brainstorming ideas, and working through crime scene evidence together. The colored pencils, markers, and glue sticks also give my students the opportunity to create posters and visual projects that demonstrate what they have learned. These supplies help make our lessons more hands-on and allow students to be creative while exploring scientific concepts. \r\n\r\nIn addition to these learning materials, the notebook paper, whiteboard magnets, dry erase calendar, and organizational supplies have helped make our classroom a more efficient and organized learning environment. The Clorox wipes, dry erase markers, dry erase calendar, monitor riser and file organizer help me keep our shared workspaces clean and help me stay prepared for each day. Having these everyday materials readily available makes a huge difference in the classroom. \r\n\r\nThank you again for investing in my students this year and for years to come. With your help, I have been able to create a classroom where they can learn, collaborate, and succeed. Your generosity means so much to us!","fullyFundedDate":1787061645941,"projectUrl":"project/first-year-science-classroom/10354075/","projectTitle":"First-Year Science Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Combs","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10539098"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_85620","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":613,"numTeachers":44,"percentFrplEligible":92,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":7,"percentWhite":67,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":8,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":15,"gradesServed":"7 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"13.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":74.5,"schoolId":85620,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Portsmouth High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Portsmouth High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/ohio/portsmouth-city-school-district/portsmouth-high-school/85620"}
