The new white boards and headphones have already become favorites! Students eagerly use their boards during math practice to show their thinking, and the headphones help them stay focused during independent reading and online lessons.\r\n\r\nWhen the supplies first arrived, the excitement was contagious. Students were thrilled to see the treasure box prizes, and the everyday tools like glue sticks, scissors, and erasers have given them everything they need to dive into projects without stress or delays. One memorable moment was during a science activity, when every student was able to grab the supplies they needed right away—no waiting, no scrambling, just learning!\r\n\r\nYour support is helping us stay organized with desk caddies, and the electric stapler and hole puncher make preparing materials so much easier. Next, my students will be using the white boards and pens daily in math rotations, while the treasure box will continue to motivate them to show kindness and responsibility.\r\n\r\nWe are so grateful for your generosity! It has truly made our classroom much more efficient and a place where students can focus on learning and feel proud of their work.","fullyFundedDate":1746785946554,"projectUrl":"project/organized-focused-and-ready-essential/9298751/","projectTitle":"Organized, Focused, and Ready: Essential Tools for Student Success","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Ramirez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9172192_orig.png?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1745976625912","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9172192"},{"teacherId":9172192,"projectId":9298951,"letterContent":"Thank you for giving our class the DJI Osmo Action 5 camera!

He has taken on the role of \"class videographer,\" which helps him participate more in class. I am hopeful this will break him out of his shell and build his confidence. \r\n\r\nNext, we plan to create highlight reels to share kindness and learning with our school community.\r\nWe're so grateful for your support in helping our students grow through both science and character.","fullyFundedDate":1747254915409,"projectUrl":"project/focus-on-kindness-a-student-led-mission/9298951/","projectTitle":"Focus on Kindness: A Student-Led Mission of Goodness","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Ramirez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9172192_orig.png?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1745976625912","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9172192"},{"teacherId":9609634,"projectId":8522360,"letterContent":"I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for the incredible impact Charlie and the Chocolate Factory has had on my second-grade students. From the very first page, the story captivated our readers, sparking curiosity, excitement, and a genuine love for reading. \r\n\r\nThis book offers many lessons and skills. First and foremost, it encourages imagination and creativity, with its descriptions of the factory and the candy inventions. The story invites students to dream up their own ideas, expanding their creative thinking.\r\n\r\nIt also provides valuable moral lessons. Each child who enters the factory has a flaw, which helps students reflect on their own behavior and the consequences of their actions. They begin to understand the importance of making good choices and how these choices shape their lives.\r\n\r\nFurthermore, the story fosters critical thinking. As students follow the different paths of the characters, they analyze the motivations behind their actions and consider how these decisions lead to different outcomes.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, the book has enriched their vocabulary, introducing them to a variety of new words in a fun and engaging context, helping develop their language skills.\r\n\r\nIn my classroom, we read the book in a dynamic way, using a range of strategies to deepen our understanding. Through read-aloud sessions, group discussions, and character analysis, the students have been able to explore the story in a meaningful way. They are not only enjoying the book, but also developing important skills that will serve them throughout their learning journey.\r\n\r\nThank you again for providing such a wonderful text that has brought so much joy and learning to my classroom!","fullyFundedDate":1727990083836,"projectUrl":"project/one-year-one-book/8522360/","projectTitle":"One Year, One Book","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Villalon","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9609634"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_18173","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":291,"numTeachers":33,"percentFrplEligible":84,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":3,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":94,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"8.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":64.2,"schoolId":18173,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Obadiah Knight Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Obadiah Knight Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/dallas-independent-school-district/obadiah-knight-elementary-school/18173"}
