My students were able to stay awake, focus, and have some snacks for the afternoon. We eat lunch so early and it really came in handy for them in the afternoon. When I put the store together and they came in they were excited and happy to see the things that were ordered. My students not only had energy but they were engaged and had brain power to do the things they have never done before.\r\nOn the days they tested I made sure they had a breakfast bar so that they would not be hungry. The bar also made them more alert and they were really focused. Every student grew six or more on their test which made me very proud. Without your help I wouldn't have had the year I did. Thank you.","fullyFundedDate":1736789713468,"projectUrl":"project/mrs-leno-superstar-store-earn-learn/9049525/","projectTitle":"Mrs. Leno Superstar Store: Earn, Learn, Shine!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Leno","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9726602"},{"teacherId":9711182,"projectId":8784637,"letterContent":"My students have been absolutely thrilled with the new resources we received through the generous donation! We recently launched a classroom project centered around building a \"Super Store,\" where students can apply math and reading skills to real-world scenarios. The store includes items with price tags, sale signs, and even a checkout counter where students use play money. The new materials, including a variety of interactive charts, manipulatives, and books, have brought this project to life in ways I never imagined. Students are excited to use these tools in both structured activities and during free play time. It has truly transformed the classroom into an engaging, hands-on learning environment that fosters creativity and practical learning.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the new materials, their faces lit up with excitement! The bright, colorful charts and the new books immediately captured their attention. They couldn't wait to dive into the books and begin using the play money and store items. Some of them even started setting up mini shops with their classmates, eager to role-play different scenarios. It was heartwarming to see how quickly they took ownership of the store and began using the resources to engage in meaningful learning. The energy in the room shifted, and there was a new level of enthusiasm for lessons that felt both fun and educational.\r\nThe next steps for my students involve expanding their use of the Super Store to incorporate more complex math concepts, like addition and subtraction, as well as practicing budgeting and basic economic skills. As we continue to integrate the new resources into our lessons, students will work together to organize store \"sales\" and make decisions based on the inventory. We're also planning a \"Store Grand Opening\" event where students will create advertisements and posters to promote the store to other classes. The materials donated have not only made the classroom more dynamic but have also empowered my students to apply their skills in meaningful, real-world contexts. They are truly grateful, and I am so proud of how they've embraced these resources to make learning both fun and practical!","fullyFundedDate":1733158886699,"projectUrl":"project/super-store/8784637/","projectTitle":"Super Store!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Peterson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9711182_orig.jpg?crop=296,296,x0,y77&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1733521162888","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9711182"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_17463","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":296,"numTeachers":25,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":72,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":25,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"11.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":60.9,"schoolId":17463,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Mabel B Wesley Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Mabel B Wesley Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/houston-independent-school-district/mabel-b-wesley-elementary-school/17463"}
