They had never seen or heard anything like them before. The first time I rang the bowl, the room went quiet, and you could feel a calm settle over everyone. Now we use them at the start of class to help us focus and between lessons to reset. It's amazing how something so simple can help students slow down, breathe, and prepare to learn.\r\n\r\nWe haven't officially used the Cricut Maker just yet, but the excitement is growing. My students already have ideas for science visuals, molecule models, and classroom projects we can create once it's set up. It will help me make lessons hands-on and give students the chance to design, build, and truly see science in action.\r\n\r\nIn our Title I school, resources are limited, but your generosity has made a real difference. You've helped make our classroom a calmer, more creative place where students can learn, imagine, and believe in what's possible. Thank you for supporting my students and helping us build something special.","fullyFundedDate":1746785948761,"projectUrl":"project/creating-calming-enhancing-learning-w/9144577/","projectTitle":"Creating & Calming: Enhancing Learning with Hands-On Design & Mindfulness","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Gamble","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9936337_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1742828838821","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9936337"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_50189","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":274,"numTeachers":19,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":55,"percentWhite":30,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":3,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"14.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":64.5,"schoolId":50189,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Manchester Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Manchester Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/georgia/meriwether-county-school-district/manchester-middle-school/50189"}
