As the title of the project states, these are basic supplies, but they make the world of difference for my students. Besides making sure they are prepared for each of their classes having these supplies makes them be responsible and accountable. The two attributes are big pillars my team and I strive to teach and help our students understand they will take them far in life! \r\nThe resources purchased are used literally everyday, from classroom to classroom, the after-school programs my students are involved in, and at home. Our parents also know how important the supplies are and make sure their children have them at school everyday. \r\nWe are getting ready to go into the Spring semester of the school year, and it goes by so fast! With that comes more learning and preparing for the next grade. But the fact that my students will have the supplies they need will make the tasks of this semester easier.","fullyFundedDate":1729551583005,"projectUrl":"project/basic-supplies-needed-to-do-our-best/8892948/","projectTitle":"Basic Supplies Needed to Do Our Best!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Nelson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3698604_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1720475088216","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3698604"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_18394","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":606,"numTeachers":40,"percentFrplEligible":84,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":64,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":31,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"15.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":55.0,"schoolId":18394,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Paul L Dunbar Learning Center on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Paul L Dunbar Learning Center","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/dallas-independent-school-district/paul-l-dunbar-learning-center/18394"}
