The headphones have been especially helpful during independent reading and online learning activities, allowing each student to focus without distraction. The colorful dry erase markers have brought energy and creativity to our small group lessons, where students enjoy showing their work and explaining their thinking on the board. The cleaning supplies help us maintain a safe and healthy classroom environment, giving everyone peace of mind and creating a space where learning comes first. \r\n\r\nOne of the most memorable moments was when my students first saw the new materials. Their faces lit up with excitement at the new headphones and the bright, fun markers they could use during lessons. The candy incentives have quickly become a favorite, motivating them to stay engaged and work hard. Seeing their joy and enthusiasm reminded me just how much these little things make a big difference in their learning experience. \r\n\r\nLooking ahead, my students will continue using the headphones to strengthen their reading and listening skills, while the markers will be key tools for group work and interactive review games. The incentives are helping us build positive routines and encourage persistence in challenging lessons. With your support, my students not only have the tools they need to learn but also the motivation and excitement to keep growing. \r\n\r\nThank you for being such an important part of our classroom journey!","fullyFundedDate":1746449376569,"projectUrl":"project/hygienic-spaces-for-43-faces/9075632/","projectTitle":"Hygienic Spaces for 43 Faces!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. D","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8836394"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_31289","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":350,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":7,"percentBlack":43,"percentWhite":12,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":22,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"5 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Record","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":81.4,"schoolId":31289,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Christopher Columbus Charter School - South on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Christopher Columbus Charter School - South","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/pennsylvania/philadelphia-city-school-district/christopher-columbus-charter-school-south/31289"}
