Many of them shouted, \"We get to use THESE?!\" They were so curious and couldn't wait to dive in. For students who often come to school without basic supplies, this moment felt really special and empowering.\r\nWe're now moving into small-group math centers where the supplies help students work independently or with a partner. The next step is building their confidence with word problems and real-world math scenarios. These materials have opened the door for more engaging and meaningful learning.","fullyFundedDate":1720458848331,"projectUrl":"project/a-groovy-classroom-can-make-the-world-go/8457274/","projectTitle":"A Groovy Classroom Can Make The World Go Around!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Anguiano","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9570257_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1749577231705","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9570257"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_16417","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":583,"numTeachers":45,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":4,"percentWhite":2,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":92,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"13.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":38.3,"schoolId":16417,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about MacArthur Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"MacArthur Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/galena-park-independent-school-district/macarthur-elementary-school/16417"}
