The kids have been loving the guess who games and I appreciate they have something to do besides play games on their iPads when they finish their assignments. The tissues and hand sanitizer have also been especially helpful this time of year. The kids also are super grateful for the cap erasers. The regular erasers on the pencil never last long enough for us. The original playing cards we wanted were out of stock. We ended up getting some other playing cards and a chess board. The 7th graders especially love chess.","fullyFundedDate":1757079668464,"projectUrl":"project/the-fun-and-the-necessary/9621445/","projectTitle":"The Fun and the Necessary","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Grant","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9934001_orig.jpg?crop=942,942,x1685,y3113&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1740858058092","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/bobcats-rock"},{"teacherId":10213182,"projectId":9638465,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation.

Your donation went towards a DJI Action 5 camera and many other things for the classroom. Initially the whole donation was supposed to be for the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 camera, however it was out of stock. Instead, Donors Choose had us select the next best option for our needs. The DJI Action 5 with bluetooth microphones has been AWESOME. It came in time for the 7th Grade Ancient Civilizations classes to capture their Arcade Day projects. Students study Greek mythology and make a Bloxels game about a specific myth. Arcade Day is super fun for the 7th graders because they get to share their games with each other and other grades in the school. The high school JV softball team also wanted to see how it worked and tried it out at a game. The camera was able to capture a promposal in 4k!","fullyFundedDate":1746786363301,"projectUrl":"project/seeing-the-world-through-the-lens-of-you/9137624/","projectTitle":"Seeing the World Through the Lens of Young Learners","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Grant","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9934001_orig.jpg?crop=942,942,x1685,y3113&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1740858058092","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/bobcats-rock"},{"teacherId":9934001,"projectId":9137660,"letterContent":"Thanks so much for supplying the middle schoolers with \"content creator kits\".

The gimbals came just in time for our Civil War Days field trip in the Spring. We were able to capture the students square dancing without any bounce on the camera!

We have chargers throughout the classroom thanks to your generosity. My students are able to charge their iPads while they work, or when they are not in use. Having charged iPads lets us go paperless for many activities! Many of our students forget to charge their iPad at home, and having these chargers has made a real difference for them. Similarly, many iPads lose their charge by the end of the school day.

The lights are set up in the corners of the room so there are no spaces that are too dark. I also set up one of the smaller lights in the computer lab across the hall.

Having a lamp in there is a real game changer because now the overhead lights can be off, and there can still be a little light on the phone that is in the back of the room.
