Help me give my students Play-Doh to create unique stop-motion animation projects please.
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. O.'s classroom raised $175
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
A typical day in my classroom consists of students checking in on the classroom website, coding, scanning, and creating QR codes, creating, editing, and publishing content on our classroom website.
My room is a wonderland of technology tools; headphones, iPads, computers, styluses, and even a few Sphero robots.
Students use these technology tools to build vital 21st-century digital literacy skills: computer science, coding, robotics, and creating and publishing multimedia content.
My students are full of dreams and hope for the future.
They are hungry to use the tools of their time and to use technology as a powerful thinking, learning, and content creation tool. Most of my students don't have the internet at home, and for some, the only time they use computers is in my classroom. I feel a deep responsibility to help my students become comfortable and competent using top-quality technology tools.
My Project
In the Media Center, K-5 students learn how to create movies. The most basic type of movie-making is stop-motion. Play-Doh is a great tool to use for creating unique fun stop-motion projects.
Stop-motion animation helps students experience engaging meaningful learning opportunities in a fun, creative setting.
Adding Play-Doh to these projects not only promotes creativity and kinesthetic learning but also increases student engagement. At the moment, Media Center students do not have Play-Doh to use for stop-motion animation. Donating to this project will bring smiles to hundreds of students and help bring very more engaging tools and resources into the Media Center for them to use.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
