Your support in providing sensory tools and hands-on math manipulatives has truly made a remarkable difference in our learning environment, and I am excited to share with you how your contribution has impacted my students.\r\nFrom the moment the materials arrived, my students were filled with curiosity and excitement. As I unpacked the boxes in front of them, their eyes lit up, and they immediately wanted to explore every item. The sensory tools quickly became favorites during our focus time. I noticed students who sometimes struggle to maintain attention were more engaged and able to participate actively in lessons. One student, who often gets distracted easily, was able to complete a full math activity using a fidget tool without needing reminders, which was a small but meaningful victory. \r\n. The pride and joy on that student's face were priceless, and it reminded me how much of a difference these resources make in fostering an inclusive classroom where every child can participate meaningfully.\r\nOverall, your donation has transformed our classroom into an even more engaging, supportive, and inclusive environment. Students are not only learning academic concepts more effectively but are also developing critical social-emotional skills such as focus, collaboration, and self-expression. Each day, I see your generosity reflected in the smiles, excitement, and curiosity of my students.\r\nThank you once again for investing in our classroom and in the growth of every child here. Your contribution has made a lasting impact, and I am incredibly grateful for your support.","fullyFundedDate":1743088066201,"projectUrl":"project/tools-for-learning-supporting-our-stude/9195093/","projectTitle":"Tools for Learning: Supporting Our Students with Supplies","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Tabassum","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9078896"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_69978","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":703,"numTeachers":41,"percentFrplEligible":83,"percentAsian":4,"percentBlack":21,"percentWhite":36,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":28,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"5 - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"17.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":78.6,"schoolId":69978,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Galloway Ridge Intermediate School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Galloway Ridge Intermediate School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/ohio/south-western-city-school-district/galloway-ridge-interm-school/69978"}
