Because of you we were able to share real life science with our 6th grade students. The students were able to monitor and track their heart rates during the course of a lab thanks to the pulse oximeters we received. This gives our students a real-life view of how science is working in their day to day lives. These resources will be used again every year for this exciting lab, so thank you again and again! \r\n\r\nIn our lab, students were required to monitor and record their heart rate before, during, and after a brief period of exercise. The donation of the pulse oximeters was key to the success of this lab experiment. Students used the oximeters to monitor and track their heart rate, record the data, and then graph the data to show evidence of how their body reacts to stimuli and maintains homeostasis to keep the body balanced.\r\n\r\nGiving students the ability to physically do science experiments is paramount in their learning and, I believe, helps the information stick better than a reading assignment or paperwork. You made this lab a success.

As soon as the kids enter and see \"Family Game Time\" on the agenda you can hear the \"YEAH!\"s\" and \"ALRIGHT!\"s throughout the hallway. As an introduction to this new routine, groups of students chose a game to learn and review. They made 2-minute videos that were turned into links on the \"Game Library\" module on our Canvas page so if anyone is curious about a new game, they can go watch their peers' videos. Every time we do it, they are excited to try new games or play their \"regular\" game to greater strategy!\r\n\r\nOur goal with this time is to improve our executive functioning and social-emotional skills while building the relational capacity of the classroom. So far, I've seen students who never liked working together having a blast as they discover common interests in games. I've also noticed a real application of the executive functioning strategies we are learning, such as \"taking a breath\", using self-talk, and not giving up when they are challenged. And, most importantly, they are practicing high-level analytical thinking skills while having fun and socializing without their phone or computer!","fullyFundedDate":1732205344550,"projectUrl":"project/put-down-the-screens-its-family-game/8841774/","projectTitle":"Put Down the Screens- It's Family Game Time!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Hamilton","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9784592_orig.jpg?crop=356,356,x4,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1727643478276","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9784592"},{"teacherId":9779380,"projectId":8826139,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for giving us the Epson color printer!
