Your kindness has truly transformed our learning environment.\r\n\r\nBecause of your donations, my students are practicing their math facts in ways that are both engaging and fun. We use our voice recorders to build fact fluency, play more interactive math games, and even use our karaoke machine to quiz and cheer each other on. It has brought so much joy, confidence, and teamwork into our daily routine.\r\n\r\nYour support has also helped us create a more comfortable and collaborative space. With our new stools, all of my students can sit together at one table, making group work smoother and helping everyone feel included.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in our classroom and for giving my students tools that make learning exciting. We are all so grateful for the difference you've made.","fullyFundedDate":1763594268370,"projectUrl":"project/speak-play-and-learn-building-math-fl/9889332/","projectTitle":"Speak, Play, and Learn: Building Math Fluency Together!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Seargeant","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9292528_orig.png?crop=996,996,x0,y56&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1695274878722","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9292528"},{"teacherId":9614681,"projectId":9132699,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for making Lights, Camera, Learn a reality for our classroom! The cameras and tripods you donated have added a whole new level of creativity and engagement to both our science and AVID classes. While many of our students are familiar with using phones or tablets to create content, this was their first time working with professional-style equipment—and they were instantly hooked. These tools have allowed students to take ownership of their learning by creating science explainer videos, AVID college spotlights, and even short documentaries about topics they care about.\r\n\r\nWhat's most exciting to them is that they feel like real filmmakers. They love setting up shots, planning scenes, and using their voices to teach and share ideas. It's one thing to write a script or complete a lab report—but filming and editing their own work takes it to the next level. Students are building confidence, developing teamwork and communication skills, and learning to express themselves in ways that feel authentic and empowering. One student, Emily, who used to shy away from presenting in class, now volunteers to be the on-camera host. Another student, Kevin, has taken on the role of director and is helping his classmates learn how to use the camera features like a pro.\r\n\r\nYour donation didn't just bring in technology—it brought in new possibilities. You gave my students tools to find their voices, share their ideas, and shine. Thank you for believing in them and in the power of hands-on, creative learning.","fullyFundedDate":1741033389604,"projectUrl":"project/lights-camera-learn-empowering-scienc/9132699/","projectTitle":"Lights, Camera, Learn: Empowering Science & AVID Students Through Video Production","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Torres","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9614681_orig.jpg?crop=2730,2730,x0,y900&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1722312914509","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9614681"},{"teacherId":9614681,"projectId":9082808,"letterContent":"I can't thank you enough for your generosity in donating a beautiful bookshelf and an incredible collection of science books to our classroom. What might seem like a simple shelf and a stack of books has made a huge impact—our science library has become one of the most loved corners of our room. Students gravitate toward it before class starts, during free time, and even ask to borrow books to take home. These books are helping them build not just reading skills, but curiosity and confidence. They're learning how to pull evidence from texts, understand science through stories and visuals, and most importantly, they're discovering the joy of learning something new on their own terms.\r\n\r\nReading in our classroom now looks like quiet pockets of focus, students leaning over pages with friends, whispering \"look at this!\" and even reluctant readers flipping through pages they never thought they'd enjoy. I think of Jeremiah, who used to say science wasn't his thing—until he found a book on animal adaptations and now asks every week when we'll be doing more on that topic. Or Mia, who carries her book about the solar system around like it's treasure. Your donation didn't just add books to a shelf—it created a space where kids feel inspired, seen, and excited to learn.\r\n\r\nThank you for making this possible.","fullyFundedDate":1738017210691,"projectUrl":"project/building-a-science-library-for-curious-m/9082808/","projectTitle":"Building a Science Library for Curious Minds","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Torres","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9614681_orig.jpg?crop=2730,2730,x0,y900&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1722312914509","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9614681"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_98079","uses�ǿմ�ý":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":885,"numTeachers":42,"percentFrplEligible":51,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":3,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":91,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"21.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":83.9,"schoolId":98079,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Juan LaGunas Soria Elementary School on @�ǿմ�ý:","schoolName":"Juan LaGunas Soria Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/oxnard-elementary-school-district/juan-soria-elementary-school/98079"}
