With the help of the laminating sheets and anchor chart paper, we've been able to build durable visual supports that guide students through sequencing and making predictions—skills they practice while reading their new books.\r\nWhen the materials first arrived, the excitement was immediate. Several students crowded around the box of books, gasping and pointing out characters they recognized and couldn't wait to read about. Others were eager to help set up our new anchor charts, proudly holding the giant sheets as we mapped out story elements together. These resources haven't just added to our classroom—they've sparked creativity, boosted engagement, and given students tools that make them feel like real readers and thinkers. Thank you for making that possible.","fullyFundedDate":1757423432863,"projectUrl":"project/tools-needed-for-a-successful-classroom/9691666/","projectTitle":"Tools Needed For a Successful Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Redanauer","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10245432"},{"teacherId":3944783,"projectId":9667540,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for Michael Jordan & the Jordan Brand by name your donation.

The digital kitchen timer allows students to manage their time during activities and practice sessions, so they can focus and work steadily. The gel pens and expanding file folders help them keep their work neat and easy to access, and the candy adds a little fun incentive during lessons. For example, during a recent math activity, students used the timer to complete a set of problems in small groups. Having the materials ready helped lessons run smoothly and kept students focused and motivated.\r\n\r\nWhen students first saw the new supplies, they were excited to try them out and immediately wanted to put them to use. Even simple things like gel pens and folders made their work feel more organized and professional. Moving forward, we plan to continue using the timer for self-paced activities and encourage students to organize their projects in the folders. These resources are making lessons more interactive, helping students stay on task, and giving them small ways to celebrate their progress along the way.","fullyFundedDate":1757682705706,"projectUrl":"project/help-our-math-class-thrive/9690527/","projectTitle":"Help Our Math Class Thrive!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Rubin","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10194394"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_90934","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":925,"numTeachers":40,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":37,"percentBlack":11,"percentWhite":41,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":8,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"23.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":68.3,"schoolId":90934,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Joseph Greenberg Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Joseph Greenberg Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/pennsylvania/philadelphia-city-school-district/joseph-greenberg-elementary-school/90934"}
