Your contributions have greatly impacted our classroom We recently were able to get ben Q boards. This has been an excellent tool for both whole class and small group leaning. One of the items I was able to get was an remote presenter. It has really improved my ability to share and keep a reasonable pace with classroom lessons and presentations. I can go backward and forward with ease on presentations so students who missed something can get caught up. I can control volume and keep things lively with this tool. \r\n\r\nOther parts of this project have supported our classroom in areas of literacy, mathematics and STEM. For example we were able to get big poster boards. We used these to collect our learning journey and share it with our school and community. We also used items to keep track of resources in out folders such as spelling list, multiplication charts and unit resources for ELA. \r\n\r\nAnother way your contributions have supported the learners in our classroom was with sensory tools for helping us focus and get more done.","fullyFundedDate":1756944772993,"projectUrl":"project/technology-presentations-and-art/9483261/","projectTitle":"Technology, presentations and art","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Kimbler","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8531707_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1657979975783","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/kimblerclass"},{"teacherId":8531707,"projectId":9483198,"letterContent":"I am so grateful for your generous support of my classroom project.

The supplies your donation helped us get have made in much easeir for the 8 year olds in the room to get and stay organized. We were able to get enough folders for each student to have a folder color coded to the subject we are working on. We used yellow for Math and burgundy for ELA. All I have to do is tell them which color folder we need and then we are ready to learn. \r\n\r\nWe are also excited about the clay. We plan on sculpting things related to our reading unit and displaying them with our show me what you know posters and papers.

The students have lots of smiles and clearly enjoy the opportunity to put art on canvas. \r\n\r\nWe have been able to use our clay to sculpt and model things related to our literature and occasionally or math problems too. \r\n\r\nFinally, we have had frequent occasion to utilize the highlighter to find the most important words in our reading pages This has helped us have a huge amount of growth in both reading and math this year and had a big impact on our scores.","fullyFundedDate":1735410583216,"projectUrl":"project/creating-and-collaborating-in-third-grad/8646968/","projectTitle":"Creating and Collaborating in Third Grade STEM.","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Kimbler","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8531707_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1657979975783","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/kimblerclass"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_67081","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":123,"numTeachers":10,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":88,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":3,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"12.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":81.0,"schoolId":67081,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Wolverine Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Wolverine Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/michigan/wolverine-community-school-district/wolverine-elementary-school/67081"}
