My 6th-grade social studies students recently completed an exciting project called the \"Perfect Leader Project\" to end the first semester. They combined creativity with critical thinking. Using the new materials, students researched four historical leaders of their choice, analyzing their qualities and leadership styles. Then, they envisioned their \"perfect leader\" by blending the best traits from these figures. With the help of the donated supplies, students created stunning posters to showcase their research and designed their own Mount Rushmore using clay, reflecting their chosen leaders and their imagined perfect leader. The new resources made the process engaging and brought their ideas to life in a tangible and memorable way.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials first arrived, my students were thrilled! Seeing the high-quality art supplies and sculpting tools sparked a wave of excitement and curiosity. They couldn't wait to dive into the hands-on part of the project, which added a whole new dimension to their learning. The clay Mount Rushmore activity was especially captivating; many remarked that it was the first time they had worked with sculpting materials in school. It was incredible to witness their enthusiasm and pride as their ideas took shape, both literally and figuratively.\r\n\r\nWe had a gallery walk where students were able to showcase their work, explain their choices, and receive feedback from their peers. This will not only solidify their understanding of leadership traits but also encourage public speaking and critical evaluation. Thanks to your support, my students have had an unforgettable experience that has deepened their historical understanding and unleashed their creativity.","fullyFundedDate":1725887905401,"projectUrl":"project/the-perfect-leader/8749193/","projectTitle":"The \"Perfect\" Leader","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Frias","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9736229"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_103857","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1006,"numTeachers":45,"percentFrplEligible":87,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":17,"percentWhite":5,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":70,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"22.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":82.6,"schoolId":103857,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about David Millen Intermediate School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"David Millen Intermediate School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/palmdale-school-district/david-g-millen-intermediate-school/103857"}
