Because of your kindness, I was able to receive essential supplies including a utility organization cart, laminating pouches, 25-piece learning clocks, card stock, teacher pens and markers, Kleenex, and Sour Patch Kid candy straws. These items may seem simple, but they will make a tremendous difference in both the learning experience of my students and my day-to-day work as their teacher.\r\n\r\nThe organization cart will help me keep materials easily accessible and reduce downtime during lessons, allowing me to focus more on instruction. The laminating pouches and card stock will be used to create durable learning tools and visuals that can be reused throughout the year, saving time and resources. The learning clocks will be a hands-on way for students to master telling time, and the pens and markers will support me in lesson planning, grading, and creating engaging materials. Even the Kleenex and candy straws serve an important role—helping to meet students' basic needs and offering small rewards to encourage positive behavior and academic effort.\r\n\r\nAlthough students won't return until August 11th, I've been working hard in setting up the classroom and organizing the new materials so that everything is ready for a strong start. Your generosity has truly helped create a welcoming and well-equipped space that will benefit my students from the very first day. Thank you again for believing in our classroom and helping us build a successful school year.","fullyFundedDate":1750774667371,"projectUrl":"project/first-grade/9368327/","projectTitle":"First Grade","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Dominguez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10039893"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_8107","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":449,"numTeachers":26,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":2,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":97,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"17.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":33.3,"schoolId":8107,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Fred Booth Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Fred Booth Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/san-benito-consolidated-independent-school-district/fred-booth-elementary-school/8107"}
