I am so thankful to be surrounded by friends and family who are so supportive. I started this project to fund a Qball for my classroom. A Qball is essentially a ball the kids can throw, roll, and bounce. However, it is also a microphone. My hope was to use it to increase engagement in my classroom. Here's a link about it on Shark Tank if you'd like to see it in use: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pdglqg-2c4 \r\n\r\n Unfortunately when my project was funded and I went to order it, the Donor's Choose supplier was out of stock and didn't know when they would have it available. I went to my principal, explained the situation, and he ordered one for my class since people had donated specifically for that. We have been using it and the kids ABSOLUTELY love it. The other items on my project were shipped and we have been using them everyday. I will use the leftover donations to purchase phonics boards for my lower students. These will help them have the opportunity for a more hands-on approach to phonics instruction and increase there Reading Fluency. Once again, thank you so much. It takes a village and I have the best one.","fullyFundedDate":1739204052071,"projectUrl":"project/igniting-engagement/9103900/","projectTitle":"Igniting Engagement","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Bickham","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5459968_orig.jpg?crop=438,438,x0,y219&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1738951570001","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5459968"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_12801","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":541,"numTeachers":27,"percentFrplEligible":81,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":16,"percentWhite":69,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":6,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 1","studentTeacherRatio":"20.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":89.5,"schoolId":12801,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about North DeSoto Lower Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"North DeSoto Lower Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/louisiana/desoto-parish-school-district/north-desoto-pk-2-elementary-school/12801"}
