My students' had fun drawing shapes in the new way they learned to make art.\r\n\r\nWhen I told my students they were going to make thier own illuminated initals they were overjoyed. My classes were excited to express thier personality and likes by designing and drawing their initials. They drew detailed designs which they colored using a variety of markers, gel pens, and watercolor paints. They enjoyed displaying their imaginations in a personal way. Most of all, they loved learning how to \"light up\" their initials.","fullyFundedDate":1746477428694,"projectUrl":"project/illuminated-names/9232368/","projectTitle":"Illuminated Names","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Grandon","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8848650_orig.jpg?crop=650,650,x547,y337&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1679523821478","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8848650"},{"teacherId":8848650,"projectId":8785455,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donations.

Once my kiddos realized their modern actions were based on centuries old economics, the learning became real and exciting.\r\n\r\nMany of my students are artistic. The learning project was a perfect combination of art and economics.

My students worked harder to make a visual picture in order to fully develop thier art gallery project. I believe this final project brought complete learning since each pupil was focused on each detail of their masterpiece.","fullyFundedDate":1726164341046,"projectUrl":"project/egyptian-blast-from-the-past/8623045/","projectTitle":"Egyptian Blast From the Past","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Grandon","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8848650_orig.jpg?crop=650,650,x547,y337&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1679523821478","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8848650"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_99660","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":330,"numTeachers":44,"percentFrplEligible":77,"percentAsian":9,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":39,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":44,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"7.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":26.5,"schoolId":99660,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Green Forest Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Green Forest Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/arkansas/green-forest-school-district/green-forest-middle-school/99660"}
