Your generosity has already made a meaningful difference in how my students share their thinking and how we learn together each day.\r\n\r\nThe addition of our classroom TV has transformed the way students present their questions, ideas, and mathematical reasoning. Now, I can display student work alongside our lesson notes in real time, which allows us to compare strategies, discuss different approaches, and highlight the creativity and insight students bring to their math learning. This simple shift has made our conversations richer and our learning community stronger.\r\n\r\nYour gift has also made instruction smoother and more efficient. I no longer lose valuable class time switching inputs on a single screen. Instead, we can transition seamlessly between student work, models, and examples.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in my students and helping create a classroom where their voices are visible and valued. Your support truly helps them see themselves as mathematicians.","fullyFundedDate":1756404890638,"projectUrl":"project/showcasing-student-voices-in-math/9639069/","projectTitle":"Showcasing Student Voices in Math","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Caren Garza","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3764229_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1471450047978","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3764229"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_14318","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":2899,"numTeachers":171,"percentFrplEligible":54,"percentAsian":4,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":57,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":29,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":4,"gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"17.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":77.3,"schoolId":14318,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about James Bowie High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"James Bowie High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/austin-independent-school-district/bowie-high-school/14318"}
