It gave them a better understanding of how dramas were written and performed. It also gave them a better appreciation of Shakespeare. Students were able to make connections with the characters and theme of the play. \r\n\r\nThe students told me they had fun when acting out Romeo and Juliet. The students who are more reserved in class seemed to enjoy acting out the play. Many students have never read or seen a play, so they were unaware of what is needed to perform in one and produce one as well.","fullyFundedDate":1736978981385,"projectUrl":"project/a-modern-perspective-romeo-and-juliet/9056431/","projectTitle":"A Modern Perspective: Romeo and Juliet","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Devillez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8338466_orig.png?crop=659,659,x652,y390&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1645796643731","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8338466"},{"teacherId":6298116,"projectId":9051098,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our Digital Design classroom! Being able to give my students these resources makes teaching so much easier. \r\n\r\nThe curriculum from Teachers Pay Teachers has been incredibly helpful in giving my students engaging projects. They love coming in to class each day to see what we're doing. \r\n\r\nAlso, the organizational materials make our classroom run so much more smoothly on a day to day basis. Being able to have everything in its own spot makes it so much easier to find everything we need.","fullyFundedDate":1738854000363,"projectUrl":"project/engaging-curriculum-and-classroom-suppli/9051098/","projectTitle":"Engaging Curriculum and Classroom Supplies","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Guinn","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6298116_orig.png?crop=286,286,x18,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1651519625115","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-guinn-br"},{"teacherId":6298116,"projectId":9046910,"letterContent":"My students were so excited to see all of their new project supplies. Their favorite items were definitely the animal figurines - they kept \"calling\" certain ones for themselves and coming up with ideas for the best photoshoots to do with them. \r\n\r\nThe pipettes and acrylic sheets enabled us to do a \"droplet\" photoshoot. My students have LOVED the photos they've been taking. They call me over to see the backs of their cameras as soon as they take a photo they're proud of. \r\n\r\nThank you so much for making these learning opportunities happen!","fullyFundedDate":1737424625726,"projectUrl":"project/digital-design-project-supplies/9046910/","projectTitle":"Digital Design Project Supplies","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Guinn","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6298116_orig.png?crop=286,286,x18,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1651519625115","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-guinn-br"},{"teacherId":8338466,"projectId":8616232,"letterContent":"I am sorry about the delay in describing the impact of the fantastic brain break supplies we were sent. As you know a brain break can be described as short structured breaks that can either be some type of physical activity or another type of mindful exercise. During the brain breaks we take I have the students \"unplug\" themselves from their eletronic devices so we can either play a round of horse in the gym, have a Connect Four tournament or play Uno with classmates. \r\n At the beginning of the school year the students were not sure about why we needed brain breaks. However, now students have been asking when we have our next brain break scheduled. I have started to implement \"Fun Friday\". This is a concept where if they are working all week, I set aside class time to have extra brain breaks on Friday. With the winter season approaching us I feel that having the opportunity to have more physical brain breaks will benefit the students. \r\n Again, I am sorry for the delay and I can not describe how excited the students get about our brain breaks. Thank you so much for your wonderful generosity.","fullyFundedDate":1723476185677,"projectUrl":"project/brain-breaks-needed/8616232/","projectTitle":"Brain Breaks Needed!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Devillez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8338466_orig.png?crop=659,659,x652,y390&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1645796643731","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8338466"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_20731","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":522,"numTeachers":22,"percentFrplEligible":28,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":96,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":1,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"23.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":76.5,"schoolId":20731,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Barr Reeve Junior Senior High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Barr Reeve Junior Senior High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/indiana/barr-reeve-community-school-district/barr-reeve-junior-senior-high-school/20731"}
