These resources offer hands-on learning experiences that keep students motivated and excited while helping them grasp challenging concepts in a way that feels accessible and enjoyable. Having these additional materials has allowed me to differentiate instruction, ensuring that each student gets the support they need to succeed. \r\n\r\nBeyond reinforcing academic skills, these engaging resources have also fostered a positive learning environment where students feel confident and eager to participate. The games and activities provide meaningful practice opportunities that feel more like play than work, making learning less intimidating and more rewarding. By incorporating these materials into daily lessons, I've seen students become more independent, collaborative, and enthusiastic about their learning. Thanks to these generous gift card donations, my students are not only strengthening their academic skills but also building a love for learning that will benefit them for years to come.","fullyFundedDate":1730407186386,"projectUrl":"project/unlocking-potential-investing-in-learn/8522157/","projectTitle":"\"Unlocking Potential: Investing in Learning Resources toTransforms Student Success\"","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Greene","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3711459_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1508643557941","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrssgreene"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_88935","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":477,"numTeachers":37,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":3,"percentWhite":5,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":89,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 4","studentTeacherRatio":"12.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":63.1,"schoolId":88935,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about 13th & Green Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"13th & Green Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/pennsylvania/reading-school-district/thirteenth-green-elementary-school/88935"}
