The kiln is an essential part of our art department, for without it we are unable to create any pottery projects. All of our children, from kindergarten through high school, get to participate in pottery projects and these are favorites each year. \r\n\r\nThis year our first theme was \"Things that Fly.\" Every grade made birds, bugs, dragons or bats with their pottery. Students loved customizing their sculptures and we had some very unique dragons, birds, and dragonflies! \r\n\r\nStudents have learned that there is a waiting period while the clay dries and goes through the first fire. Then they experience the joy of choosing colorful glazes to create brilliant finishes on their pottery. This year we added crystal gems glazes for additional variation during the glaze process. \r\n\r\nIn the spring our project themes focus on flowers for Mother's Day gifts. Last year each grade created a different flower, which included sunflowers, calla lilies, roses and more. I know that moms loved these gifts. \r\n\r\nThanks to each of you, our students can continue to grow in their pottery skills and share their creations with families and friends. You are the most awesome group of supporters that we could ever hope for!","fullyFundedDate":1738551489800,"projectUrl":"project/kiln-and-shelving-for-pottery-projects/8935953/","projectTitle":"Kiln and Shelving for Pottery Projects, All Grades","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Harrison","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8689389"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_73649","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":488,"numTeachers":25,"percentFrplEligible":70,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":93,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":3,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"19.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":79.9,"schoolId":73649,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Buckley Community School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Buckley Community School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/michigan/buckley-community-schools/buckley-community-school/73649"}
