We used our chopsticks to eat noodles. Some scholars knew how to use them and to some it was a new experience. They all loved it. We watched videos of the celebration and finished our meal off with a fortune cookie. The fun did not stop there. Each young scholar received a red envelope with money (fake of course) in it. They had to count their coins and bills then come to me and tell me how much they have. Then they were able to receive a prize. How fun this hour celebration was - all thanks to you.","fullyFundedDate":1764726396580,"projectUrl":"project/the-year-of-the-horse/9919373/","projectTitle":"The Year of the Horse","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Silva","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3203011_orig.jpg?crop=1489,1489,x204,y650&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1640394187648","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/c-silva"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_124129","uses�ǿմ�ý":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":null,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":7,"percentBlack":43,"percentWhite":12,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":22,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Not specified","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Record","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"UNCLASSIFIED","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":75.0,"schoolId":124129,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Universal Institute Charter School - Catharine St on @�ǿմ�ý:","schoolName":"Universal Institute Charter School - Catharine St","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/pennsylvania/philadelphia-city-school-district/universal-institute-charter-school-catharine-st/124129"}
