Students are collaborating more, taking academic risks, and staying actively engaged in ways I rarely see with traditional paper and pencil. The Building Thinking Classrooms model emphasizes the power of non-permanent, vertical surfaces, and your gift has brought that to life for our classroom.\r\n\r\nBecause of you, our students are thinking more deeply and confidently.

Now, with more stations, collaboration is way more effective. \r\n\r\nMoving forward, I plan to use these boards every day. I truly believe that when students get to discuss math and work through problems together, rather than just listening to me talk, their learning improves so much more. \r\n\r\nThanks again for making this possible!","fullyFundedDate":1732235224125,"projectUrl":"project/continuing-to-build-a-thinking-classroom/8522129/","projectTitle":"Continuing to Build a Thinking Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Lisa Sager","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3205627_orig.jpg?crop=773,773,x0,y28&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1689020007352","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/lisa-sager"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_86266","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":609,"numTeachers":31,"percentFrplEligible":63,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":47,"percentIndigenous":18,"percentLatinx":16,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"7 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"19.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":76.0,"schoolId":86266,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Durant Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Durant Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/oklahoma/durant-independent-school-district/durant-middle-school/86266"}
