This year we set out to focus more on literacy and helping each of them learn more. The resources donated to our classroom are ones we would not have been able to purchase had it not been for your generosity. A few of the literacy games we received have quickly became classroom favorites and they want to do them EVERY DAY!! We want to thank you so much for the opportunity you have given our room so we can experience all of these new resources. The magnet letters have helped our children so much in spelling their names and helping with letter recognition. The alphabet bowling game has also been a huge hit in our classroom because it gets them up and moving. We could never have been able to make a bigger impact on these children if it had not been for your amazing generosity. We want to thank you and let you know your gift to our room is more than appreciated. Your gift to our classroom is going to continue making a huge impact in our classroom and help these children achieve great things. Thank you will never be enough.","fullyFundedDate":1762966000582,"projectUrl":"project/literacy-engaging-room/9644072/","projectTitle":"Literacy Engaging Room","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Shawn","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8627007_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755951515236","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8627007"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_112696","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":null,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":24,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":18,"percentWhite":69,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":7,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"US Census Data for the surrounding geographic area","gradesServed":"Not specified","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"Census ZCTA","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"UNCLASSIFIED","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":0.0,"schoolId":112696,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about LT Ross Head Start Center on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"LT Ross Head Start Center","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/tennessee/office-of-head-start/lt-ross-head-start-center/112696"}
