Because of your generosity, our students now have an iPad, stand, and wireless microphones that have helped turn our classroom into a small news studio. Students used this technology to write and record their own news segments while practicing important language skills. As they prepared their broadcasts, students worked on writing ten-sentence scripts using past tense verbs and creative storytelling. The iPad allowed them to record and review their work, helping them reflect on their speaking and make improvements along the way.\r\n\r\nThe microphones and stand made the experience especially exciting for students because they truly felt like real news anchors. They eagerly volunteered for different roles such as anchors, reporters, and producers. While preparing their broadcasts, students practiced giving constructive critiques and supportive feedback to one another. This collaborative process helped them strengthen key language learning domains: reading, writing, listening, and speaking.\r\n\r\nOne of the most rewarding outcomes has been seeing students grow more confident and verbal. Some students who were initially hesitant to speak in front of others are now excited to participate and share their ideas on camera. We continue to use the equipment to practice these language skills through new projects, and the enthusiasm in the classroom has been wonderful to see. Your support has made a meaningful difference for our students, and we are truly grateful for your generosity.","fullyFundedDate":1761077094021,"projectUrl":"project/our-voices-our-news-a-bilingual-broadc/9426683/","projectTitle":"Our Voices, Our News: A Bilingual Broadcast","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Valle","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10061155_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1750536969617","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10061155"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_28823","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":515,"numTeachers":19,"percentFrplEligible":50,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":29,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":59,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"27.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":30.8,"schoolId":28823,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Old Orchard Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Old Orchard Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/newhall-school-district/old-orchard-elementary-school/28823"}
