First, my students are now able to use their new headphones to listen to online curriculum for the program Edgenuity. Prior to this, students would randomly have their volume on the computer set too loud and it would interrupt others.\r\nNow, the classroom environment has improved and student engagement with content has increased.\r\n Secondly, the folders have been a blessing. Each student was given a folder to keep their work organized. The folders I ordered are color coated and make it easy for students to locate them. It is also easy for me to organize them by color for easy access.\r\n Your generosity has changed my classroom environment and solved a classroom management issue. We give our dearest thanks and appreciate all that you have done.","fullyFundedDate":1734543085809,"projectUrl":"project/ear-resistable-edgenuity/8737580/","projectTitle":"Ear-Resistable Edgenuity","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Davis","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5896941_orig.jpg?crop=439,439,x0,y105&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1672939547871","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5896941"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_29002","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":46,"numTeachers":30,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":78,"percentWhite":16,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":5,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Not specified","studentTeacherRatio":"1.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":52.3,"schoolId":29002,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Pendergrass Fairwold School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Pendergrass Fairwold School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/south-carolina/richland-county-school-district-one/pendergrass-fairwold-school/29002"}
