They cheered and asked to open everything at that moment. At my planning time, I opened everything, then at math block, I shared what the games and activities were about. \r\n Several students needed practice with telling time, money, and addition. I divided students into four additional groups so they could practice and play. Other students were especially drawn to the Number Blocks activity. They began building and making numbers. My advanced students asked to practice multiplication and division, so they took the multiplication and division flash cards. \r\n All of my students had fun, improved their social skills through games, and practiced math skills! These activities will served this year's class, and will allow for future classes to learn and grow. The activities are durable and easy to play for all students. It was wonderful to be granted additional activities for my class. Budgets are small, so this contribution really boosted my collection of materials for individual and small group practice. \r\n Thank you again for your generosity.","fullyFundedDate":1741128769232,"projectUrl":"project/think-smart-think-math/9043727/","projectTitle":"Think Smart, Think Math!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. McClaflin","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6173980"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_100779","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":348,"numTeachers":30,"percentFrplEligible":62,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":5,"percentWhite":65,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":15,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"11.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":45.8,"schoolId":100779,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Driswood Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Driswood Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/west-virginia/jefferson-county-school-district/driswood-elementary-school/100779"}
