The impact on our classroom has been tremendous already! \r\n\r\nThe document camera is a class favorite, the students are excited to see me writing real time and it makes modeling work much easier. Now I can model on their actual mirrored worksheet rather than uploading pictures of work to my slides to model with sloppy smart board handwriting. The camera allows me to model proper writing mechanics and handwriting. It give students the opportunity to come up and edit or add ideas in a collaborative and engaging way! We've also enjoyed using it during novel study to ensure we're all on the same page. \r\n\r\n\r\nThe resources for literacy have been very helpful in my small group planning and instruction. The workbooks give me good materials to assign students or do with students based on their differentiated needs. The finger reading tracker has been especially useful for my students with dyslexia, as it gives them the ability to focus on 2-3 words as a time and keep their own pace. \r\n\r\nYour impact will continue to shine with this group of students and future classes!","fullyFundedDate":1734099448245,"projectUrl":"project/document-camera-to-boost-writers-worksh/8888819/","projectTitle":"Document Camera to Boost Writer's Workshop Opportunities! + Dyslexia Tools","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Huber","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8817928_orig.png?crop=398,398,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1697588772627","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/khuber"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_105664","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":142,"numTeachers":25,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":38,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":59,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"5.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":74.4,"schoolId":105664,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Hope Community Charter School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Hope Community Charter School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-jersey/new-jersey-department-of-education/hope-community-charter-school/105664"}
