Because of you, my students now have access to engaging, hands-on tools that help bring multiplication concepts to life. These manipulatives have already made a meaningful difference in how students approach math—turning abstract ideas into concrete, understandable experiences.\r\n\r\nWith these resources, students are building arrays, modeling equal groups, and exploring multiplication in ways that boost both understanding and confidence. I am seeing increased participation, stronger problem-solving skills, and more excitement about learning math. Your kindness has helped create an environment where students feel empowered to take risks, ask questions, and truly grasp foundational math skills.\r\n\r\nI am incredibly grateful for your investment in my students and their education. Your support has had a lasting impact on our classroom, and it is helping to set my students up for future success in mathematics.

We use this table daily for guided reading, targeted skill practice, and writing conferences. It has become a calm, focused space where students feel supported and confident asking questions. One of my favorite moments was watching a group eagerly pull their chairs in and say, \"This is our table!\" They immediately understood that this space was something special just for learning and growing together.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the table, their excitement was contagious. They noticed it right away and wanted to know what we would be doing there. For many of them, having a designated small-group space made learning feel more personal and important. It has helped increase engagement, reduce distractions, and build stronger relationships as we work closely together on individual goals.\r\n\r\nAs we move forward, this table will continue to play a key role in our current reading and writing lessons. Students will use it for decoding practice, comprehension discussions, sentence building, and one-on-one feedback as they strengthen their skills. Because of your kindness, my students now have a space where meaningful learning happens every single day. Thank you for giving them this gift and for investing in their success.","fullyFundedDate":1764732724571,"projectUrl":"project/a-table-with-a-purpose-read-write-col/9927663/","projectTitle":"A Table with a Purpose: Read, Write, Collaborate","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Gross","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8515690_orig.jpg?crop=1400,1400,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1764170740389","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8515690"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_98017","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":581,"numTeachers":38,"percentFrplEligible":53,"percentAsian":8,"percentBlack":6,"percentWhite":37,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":43,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"15.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":80.5,"schoolId":98017,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Oak Ridge Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Oak Ridge Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/frenship-independent-school-district/oak-ridge-elementary-school/98017"}
