Your contribution has made a powerful difference in the lives of our students and their families, and I want to share just how meaningful your gift has been for our school.\r\n\r\nCurriculum Night is one of the most important events of the year for our community. It provides families with a chance to connect directly with teachers, learn about grade-level expectations, and see firsthand how their children will be supported throughout the school year. Thanks to the availability of these tablets, Curriculum Night was more interactive, engaging, and empowering than ever before. Parents were able to explore digital resources, ask questions in real time, and see how technology can be a bridge between school and home learning. This experience helped families leave the event feeling not only informed, but equipped to take a more active role in their child's education.\r\n\r\nBeyond Curriculum Night, the impact of these tablets has extended into the daily lives of our students. Having access to this technology ensures that learning doesn't stop at the classroom door. Students can continue practicing important skills at home, whether they are reviewing math concepts, engaging in interactive reading programs, or exploring science simulations. This ability to extend learning beyond the school day helps to reinforce content, build confidence, and close gaps that might otherwise remain.\r\n\r\nThe tablets have also opened the door for families to become stronger partners in the learning process. Many parents have shared that, for the first time, they feel empowered to help their children with schoolwork. With these resources at their fingertips, families can access digital platforms, monitor progress, and encourage their scholars to stay motivated and engaged. This level of involvement strengthens the bond between home and school, showing students that education is a team effort where everyone has a role to play.\r\n\r\nOur goals with this project were clear: to enhance learning, to provide equitable access to technology, and to strengthen the partnership between families and educators. Thanks to your generosity, we are achieving these goals every day. Students who once felt limited by resources are now excited to dive into digital activities. Teachers are able to provide differentiated instruction and assign meaningful practice that aligns with each child's individual needs. Parents are better equipped to guide their children and celebrate academic progress. All of this is possible because of the support you provided.\r\n\r\nWhat makes our students truly special is their resilience, determination, and endless curiosity. They come from diverse backgrounds and bring unique strengths into the classroom. Many of them face challenges outside of school, yet they arrive each day eager to learn and grow. Your gift of technology has shown them that their voices, their education, and their future matter. You have given them tools that will not only help them succeed academically, but also inspire them to dream bigger about what they can achieve.\r\n\r\nIn closing, please know that your contribution is more than just a gift—it is an investment in children, families, and a brighter future for our community. We are deeply grateful for your continued support, and we look forward to sharing even more stories of growth and success made possible because of you.","fullyFundedDate":1733285893998,"projectUrl":"project/curriculum-night-building-literacy-and/8922464/","projectTitle":"Curriculum Night: Building Literacy and Math Skills Through Technology!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Griffin","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4541145_orig.jpg?crop=525,525,x0,y147&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1694390231452","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/c-griffin2017"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_18047","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":600,"numTeachers":44,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":8,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":89,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"13.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":73.6,"schoolId":18047,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Eleanor Tinsley Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Eleanor Tinsley Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/houston-independent-school-district/eleanor-tinsley-elementary-school/18047"}
