The students in the Learning Lab are loving getting to use the punching bag. The day it arrived a new student was so excited and helped set it up. Students have the opportunity to use the punching bag throughout the day to get physical activity, expend frustration and just for fun. \r\nWe recently met up in the learning lab before a field trip to the butterfly house, many students were trying out the punching bag and enjoying their time together.\r\nThe punching bag is a big benefit for students who really need a safe outlet for difficult feelings and this has helped keep those students safe and in school.","fullyFundedDate":1732718946178,"projectUrl":"project/punching-bag-for-students-in-crisis/8945647/","projectTitle":"Punching Bag for Students in Crisis","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Flanery","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9752164_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1728582969060","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9752164"},{"teacherId":9752164,"projectId":8789648,"letterContent":"I have seen the excitement of checking out a writing tablet to a student who is thrilled to use it in her synchronous math class to move points on a graph and figure out the slope of a line. I think students will also find this a useful alternate cursor when the scroll pad on their chrome book is less responsive to their attempts to move the cursor more easily and precisely. \r\nThe writing tablets also work wonderfully on a Canva whiteboard using the drawing tool, students can take notes, annotate screenshots, comment on each other's work and draw fun images to go with their notes that help them remember what they learned.\r\nIn Google Meet students can also use their writing tablets and stylus to write on the screen that is being shared either by their teacher or another student to allow for smooth collaboration and explanation of concepts.\r\nLearning Online can be frustrating for students when they don't have the tools they need to make the experience enjoyable, these writing tablets will go a long way toward making the experience more fun and interactive while giving them the means to use and develop their handwriting and note taking skills!","fullyFundedDate":1726531435470,"projectUrl":"project/online-learning-with-a-writing-tablets/8789648/","projectTitle":"Online Learning With a Writing Tablets!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Flanery","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9752164_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1728582969060","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9752164"},{"teacherId":9752237,"projectId":8795732,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support in helping me bring books with more diverse points of view into my classroom.
