Things like paper cuts and a quick temperature check can now be taken care of in the room, rather than taking time away from learning to be in the nurse. \r\n\r\nThis also allows the nurse to focus on students who are truly ill and need their attention.

Your donation helped for each of my students to have their own headphones. It also provided me with an iPad stand to support student learning!\r\n\r\nHeadphones are essential for kindergarten. Oftentimes, I pull students in a small group for learning, assessments, and monitoring reading. Headphones help to keep the rest of the class at an inside volume while working so that I can focus on the small group with me. Headphones are also beneficial for testing, so that students can hear their test read aloud without disrupting those around them.\r\n\r\nThe iPad stand has been a great help in displaying the worksheet on the board for the students. With this stand, I am able to snap a picture of the worksheet and project it on the board while actively doing the activity with the students. \r\n\r\nThank you so much for providing these opportunities for my students!","fullyFundedDate":1735683443446,"projectUrl":"project/technology-meets-kindergarten/8943870/","projectTitle":"Technology Meets Kindergarten!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Cress","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8941398_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1678643451438","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8941398"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_20398","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":687,"numTeachers":34,"percentFrplEligible":80,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":40,"percentWhite":40,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":11,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"20.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":70.1,"schoolId":20398,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Blue Academy Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Blue Academy Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/indiana/msd-of-decatur-twp/decatur-interm-learning-center-blue/20398"}
