We have seen a noticeable increase in student discourse and conversation during workstation time. Students are using the puppets to retell stories, ask and answer questions, and engage in collaborative dialogue with their peers. Even some of our quieter students are participating more confidently when speaking through a puppet, which has strengthened both language development and social interaction\r\n\r\nAdditionally, the use of the classroom camera to take pictures of students and incorporate their faces into daily problems and various learning activities has significantly increased engagement.\r\n\r\nThe mini printer has also had a powerful impact on student learning. The ability to design and print their work has increased motivation, independence, and ownership of their learning.\r\n\r\nOverall, these tools have helped create more interactive, student-centered workstations that promote language development, confidence, creativity, and active learning.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your continued support and commitment to enriching our students' learning experiences.","fullyFundedDate":1765983068405,"projectUrl":"project/bringing-literature-to-life/9931978/","projectTitle":"Bringing Literature To Life!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Dobbins","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1801531_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1689022470738","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1801531"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_17909","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":323,"numTeachers":26,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":51,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":47,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"12.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":53.5,"schoolId":17909,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Osborne Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Osborne Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/houston-independent-school-district/osborne-elementary-school/17909"}
