Your contribution has made a profound impact on our art program and the creative experiences of my students.\r\nThanks to your donation, my students now have the tools they need to bring their artistic visions to life. The document camera has been an invaluable addition to our classroom, allowing me to demonstrate techniques and showcase student work in real time. Every student can now clearly see and understand the process, which has enhanced engagement and confidence in their artistic abilities.\r\nThe digital camera opened new doors for creativity by introducing students to photography. They have explored composition and perspective while documenting school activities and events for our yearbook, giving them a sense of pride and ownership in their work.\r\nYour gift of oil pastels replaced our old, worn supplies and encouraged students to experiment with texture and color blending in their creations. This has sparked excitement and innovation as they discover new ways to express themselves. Additionally, the white tempera paint has been instrumental in teaching color theory, enabling students to blend new tints with our existing paints and deepen their understanding of artistic techniques.\r\nBecause of your generosity, our classroom has become a space where creativity thrives and students feel empowered to explore, learn, and grow. Thank you for believing in the power of art education and for making a lasting difference in the lives of my students.","fullyFundedDate":1756067506825,"projectUrl":"project/steam-ing-with-the-basics-for-art/9638855/","projectTitle":"STEAM-ING with the Basics for Art","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Fernandez-Rodriguez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp641609_orig.jpg?crop=1466,1466,x386,y880&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1764614054349","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/artrules-dfernandez"},{"teacherId":10263234,"projectId":9716968,"letterContent":"Your support has made a meaningful difference in the lives of my students, and I wanted to share just how impactful it has been.\r\nBrainPOP Jr. has become an invaluable resource in our learning environment.

Thanks to your support, we received neon oil pastels, Sharpie markers, and glue sticks, which have truly transformed our learning environment.\r\n\r\nOur students have been using these materials to explore their creativity and enhance their artistic skills. One specific project we recently completed was a vibrant watercolor resist using the neon oil pastels that allowed students to express their individuality and creativity. The neon oil pastels added a stunning pop of color, while the Sharpie markers helped outline intricate details. The glue sticks were essential for assembling the poster to be displayed at our upcoming art show.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the new materials, their excitement was palpable. They were eager to dive into their projects and experiment with the bright, bold colors of the neon oil pastels. Many students expressed how these resources made them feel like real artists, boosting their confidence and enthusiasm for art.\r\n\r\nCurrently, we are working on a collaborative project where students create their own comic strips. This activity not only hones their artistic abilities but also encourages storytelling and teamwork. The next steps involve refining their sketches with the Sharpie markers and adding vibrant hues with the neon oil pastels. We are excited to see their creativity come to life and can't wait to share the final results with you.\r\n\r\nThank you once again for your incredible support. Your contributions have made a significant difference in our classroom, and we are deeply grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1733271518316,"projectUrl":"project/masterpieces-need-the-basics/8788899/","projectTitle":"Masterpieces Need the Basics","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Fernandez-Rodriguez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp641609_orig.jpg?crop=1466,1466,x386,y880&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1764614054349","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/artrules-dfernandez"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_45845","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":370,"numTeachers":32,"percentFrplEligible":59,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":98,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"11.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":77.6,"schoolId":45845,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Rockway Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Rockway Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/miami-dade-county-public-schools/rockway-elementary-school/45845"}
