Thanks to your kindness, my second graders now have a beautiful rug with happy faces that perfectly matches our classroom theme, along with a Chromebook charging station that helps keep our technology organized and ready for learning.\r\n\r\nOur new rug has become a special part of our classroom. It gives my students a cheerful, inviting space where we can come together for morning meetings, read stories, participate in lessons, and learn from one another. The happy faces add so much personality to our classroom and help create the positive learning environment I want my students to experience every day. Our new Chromebook charging station has also made a wonderful difference by giving our devices a designated space to stay organized and charged. This allows us to spend less time managing technology and more time focusing on learning.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has helped make that possible. Thank you for investing in my students and helping turn our classroom into a place where learning truly comes together!","fullyFundedDate":1784130410433,"projectUrl":"project/where-learning-comes-together/10333436/","projectTitle":"Where Learning Comes Together","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. De La Vega","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8297054_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1768534896868","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8297054"},{"teacherId":5081695,"projectId":10207844,"letterContent":"Thank you times a million for your generous donation towards books for my students summer reading. I can explain the impact it has on our community to get books in the hands of these young learners. I've been immensely blessed by the Donors Choose platform and have a large classroom library, so books are easily assessable during the school year, however we know during summer break they are not, so being able to provide them one to read over summer break makes our hearts happy. \r\nAt the end of the year, I challenge my students to read the novel we chose and bring back summary packet of all the chapters. At that point I offer them a McDonalds gift card if they complete the challenge. You'd be surprised at how many students take me up on that challenge. When given the opportunity to learn, they simply can't help themselves. I love it, and I love every single donor that has helped but those opportunities in their hands.","fullyFundedDate":1778260393287,"projectUrl":"project/summer-reading/10207844/","projectTitle":"Summer Reading!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Garcia","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5081695_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1522336453124","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/savannah-garcia"},{"teacherId":2933788,"projectId":10207903,"letterContent":"This DonorsChoose project made a meaningful impact on my 4th grade dual language students by giving them the opportunity to choose and enjoy books that they could call their own. Each student received two chapter books, providing them with engaging reading materials to practice their literacy skills in both languages and develop a stronger love of reading.\r\n\r\nThe students also received a special bag to safely store and protect their books. This encouraged them to take pride in their books and taught them the importance of caring for their personal belongings. Having their own books to read and keep helped my students feel valued, motivated, and excited about reading.\r\n\r\nThank you to DonorsChoose and the generous donors who made this experience possible. Your support has helped create joyful reading experiences and encouraged my students to see themselves as confident, lifelong readers.","fullyFundedDate":1778036046341,"projectUrl":"project/read-dream-grow-lee-suea-crece/10207903/","projectTitle":"Read, Dream, Grow / Lee, Sueña, Crece","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Sosa","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/csosa4bce"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_13751","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":607,"numTeachers":45,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":5,"percentWhite":6,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":85,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":1,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"13.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":29.7,"schoolId":13751,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Big Country Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Big Country Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/southwest-independent-school-district/big-country-elementary-school/13751"}
