It has been a game changer with my ELL students. I have 2 students who I use them with. They are especially helpful when I am explaining a project and giving directions. \r\n What is nice about the translator earbuds is that under some of the languages it offers subcategories for different regions that speak that language. One of my students is from Venezuela and we were able to find Venezuela as one of the options under Spanish. She was so happy since she had just come to America and doesn't speak any English. I am so glad I don't have to worry about my ELL students being able to understand my lessons anymore.

None of the students had used a digital camera before and have been quite excited to learn. They are using their photography and digital editing skills to create original compositions that visualize self care in the world around them by focusing on the details. Seeing the world through the perspective of a lens, determining how to frame the subject, creating moods with lighting, and applying composition rules for photography has really opened up a new perspective for them. Some students have voiced, \"I really like this class now\", when they were not so excited about it in the beginning. Having students write about their project has really stretched their creativity and self-expression and peer critique being used with all projects has allowed a few quiet students to find their voice and step out and talk to other students. Photography has given many students more confidence and another way to express themselves. Wrapping up this project by having their work displayed at a district art show has created a real-world experience and sense of pride for students and their teacher.\r\n\r\nWe appreciate all that you have done to make this experience come true!","fullyFundedDate":1730816855948,"projectUrl":"project/visualizing-self-care/8813402/","projectTitle":"Visualizing Self Care","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Powers","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9773527_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1727060450993","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/chsdigitaldesign"},{"teacherId":7159870,"projectId":8774163,"letterContent":"Thank you again for your donation! The students were excited when we wheeled in the brand-new art display board! We used the board when an art therapist speaker visited our classroom this week. The board helped facilitate a thoughtful discussion about the art therapy activity the students completed with the art therapist. \r\n\r\nThe art therapist started out explaining what art therapy is. Then she had the students complete an activity similar to art therapy, but this was for fun. She explained that this wasn't a clinical situation so she was NOT doing a therapy session. As the students drew, she explained how it would go in a therapy session.\r\n\r\nThen students hung their drawings on the board. The art therapist led a great discussion about their drawings and possible meanings. Again, she helped the students understand how an art therapist uses the artwork to help understand their patients. She gave different examples, like children staying in the hospital or an adult visiting an art therapy office.\r\n\r\nShe concluded by answering questions that they had. The students had great questions and talked about how they enjoyed the drawing and the discussion. A few students are looking at possibly pursuing art therapy for their career. Your donation helped us obtain the board which made the discussion much easier. \r\n\r\nThank you so much for your generosity! Your donation also makes it possible for the art display board to be used with other possible speakers and our annual district art show!","fullyFundedDate":1727100227531,"projectUrl":"project/art-boards-for-art-therapy/8774163/","projectTitle":"Art Boards for Art Therapy","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Werner-Purkey","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7159870"},{"teacherId":9831038,"projectId":8931472,"letterContent":"I want to personally thank you for your incredibly generous donation to our classroom project on Donors Choose.
