The look of my students when they first saw these materials was priceless. Students were so happy when they saw the pockets where they could store and organize their school materials. \r\n\r\nThis was the first week where students were able to quickly grab their materials such as notebooks, pencils, books, right from their desk. These pocket seats helped reduce clutter in the classroom and it helped make the materials more accessible for my students in their daily lessons. Not only did these pocket seat holders help keep students organize but also created more time for instruction as the students now have their materials right behind their chairs.","fullyFundedDate":1739455236816,"projectUrl":"project/pocket-full-of-possibilities-help-our-3/8961877/","projectTitle":"Pocket Full of Possibilities: Help Our 3rd Graders Stay Organize","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Bianca","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9714283_orig.jpg?crop=2836,2836,x270,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1726189378104","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9714283"},{"teacherId":9501630,"projectId":8583364,"letterContent":"I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for your continued support of the arts in education. As a teacher, one of my greatest joys is watching my students grow and develop their artistic skills. Many of my students have an incredible passion for drawing, but they often face challenges when it comes to refining their techniques and tackling new subjects. With your help, I am working to provide them with the tools and resources they need to take their creative practice to the next level.\r\n\r\nCurrently, my students are eager to expand their drawing abilities, with many requesting guidance on how to draw characters in anime and manga styles, animals, and vehicles. While they have incredible ideas, they need accessible, visual resources to help them improve. That's why your donations for a variety of drawing references is so meaningful. These materials will help me organize and present valuable learning resources to my students in a way that is both efficient and engaging.\r\n\r\nBy creating a dedicated system for organizing our drawing reference packets, I will be able to offer my students step-by-step guides that align with their specific interests. Laminating these images will allow them to interact with these resources regularly, without worrying about wear and tear. Additionally, I intend to use the laminator for preserving and displaying artworks from the artists we study, offering my students a lasting connection to their learning process.\r\n\r\nI firmly believe that when students have the right resources and opportunities to explore their creativity, they can flourish in ways that transcend the classroom. With your support, I am confident that my students will not only enhance their technical skills but also build confidence in their artistic expression. The drawing guides, books, and organized materials will provide them with the tools they need to grow as young artists.\r\n\r\nThank you for your generosity and for helping us create an inspiring and nurturing environment for our students. Your donation will have a lasting impact on their development, and I am truly grateful for your support.","fullyFundedDate":1727826699401,"projectUrl":"project/free-choice-drawing-library-for-elementa/8583364/","projectTitle":"Free Choice Drawing Library for Elementary School Artists","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Liz","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9501630_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1711567623103","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9501630"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_37726","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":474,"numTeachers":21,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":20,"percentWhite":10,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":66,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"22.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":62.8,"schoolId":37726,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about La Escuela Fratney Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"La Escuela Fratney Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/wisconsin/milwaukee-public-schools/fratney-street-elementary-school/37726"}
