My students were able to see, touch, and use the cameras around the school. This hands-on activity enhanced their knowledge and allowed them to participate in a real-world experience. The students' excitement was clear when they were introduced to the cameras; they eagerly participated and patiently waited for their turns.\r\n\r\nThis experience promoted discussions among the students and fostered their creativity. The students chose the subjects for their pictures. The students were instructed to find a person, place, or thing that was meaningful to them at the school. One student eagerly chose the library because he enjoys reading. \r\n\r\nWe truly appreciate your support to make this hands-on activity possible. Your donation will have a lasting impact on student learning. Thank you again for your kindness and generosity.","fullyFundedDate":1761067372589,"projectUrl":"project/picture-our-story/9653480/","projectTitle":"Picture Our Story!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Perales","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10225679"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_12678","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":572,"numTeachers":26,"percentFrplEligible":88,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":7,"percentWhite":76,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":11,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"1 - 3","studentTeacherRatio":"22.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":66.7,"schoolId":12678,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Caldwell Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Caldwell Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/alabama/scottsboro-city-school-district/caldwell-elementary-school/12678"}
