Your donations of speakers, a laser pointer, and essential supplies have transformed our English Language Arts classroom. \r\n\r\n\r\nWhen we first launched this project, we were focused on finding creative ways to make our daily lessons more engaging and our student presentations more professional. The technology has improved how my students learn and interact with the content. The speakers allow us to fully immerse ourselves in audio elements, like listening to professional voice actors read Shakespearean scenes or analyzing the rhetoric of famous American political speeches—elements we couldn't properly share before. For you, this technology might be a staple at home, but in the classroom, it's a valuable tool for making abstract concepts tangible and accessible. \r\n\r\nHaving a reliable sound system and the laser pointer to guide students through our flipped classroom and video presentations, has improved concept retention and interest. Plus, when we work on domain vocabulary, Quizlet, Kahoot, and Blooket are greatly enhanced. \r\n\r\nThank you, once again, for empowering our ELA class with these wonderful new resources.","fullyFundedDate":1707330800481,"projectUrl":"project/improved-english-language-arts-instructi/8194980/","projectTitle":"Improved English Language Arts Instruction With Professional Presentation Products!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Pickett","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9459191_orig.png?crop=288,288,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1707147765172","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9459191"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_49156","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":332,"numTeachers":38,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":11,"percentWhite":43,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":41,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"8.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":81.1,"schoolId":49156,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Sound School Aquaculture on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Sound School Aquaculture","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/connecticut/new-haven-public-schools/sound-school-aquaculture/49156"}
