After completing their academic tasks, students are able to engage with their peers in friendly competition or work as a team to accomplish a goal. The Nintendo Switch provides multiple types of sensory input which is necessary for students to regulate their emotions and focus on academics. Many skills can be targeted using the Nintendo Switch including: receptive, expressive and pragmatic language, problem solving, negotiating, positive sportsmanship, independence, fine motor and gross motor skills, vocabulary, following directions, giving directions, etc. At GLC, our students participate in clubs 1-2 Fridays per month. A student selects a club for the first half of the year and then they have the opportunity to switch clubs for the second half of the school year. Club options include: cooking club, gym club, dance club, lego/building club, game club and now Nintendo Switch club. Students have been able to demonstrate some hidden talents through the Nintendo Switch club which has contributed to improved peer relations and peer support/encouragement. Thank you for this incredible gift to our school. It will bring joy for years to come.","fullyFundedDate":1730580283018,"projectUrl":"project/nintendo-switch-for-students-sensory-in/8910703/","projectTitle":"Nintendo Switch for Students' Sensory Input and Mental Health Maintenance","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lang","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9820443"},{"teacherId":9819033,"projectId":8908675,"letterContent":"On behalf of Godfrey Learning Center, I want to extend our deepest gratitude for your generous donation of the new sports equipment. Your kindness has made an incredible impact on our students, and we can't thank you enough for your support.\r\n\r\nWhen the boxes arrived, it was like Christmas morning! The excitement and joy on our students' faces were absolutely priceless as we opened up the boxes. They couldn't wait to dive in and use everything, and thanks to you, we will be able to do just that.\r\n\r\nOne of the biggest highlights so far has been our pickleball unit. The students have had an absolute blast learning the game, and it has been amazing to see their confidence and skills grow with each lesson. Pickleball has been a perfect addition to our curriculum, providing a fun and engaging way for our students to work on coordination and skill in an inclusive environment. It is an activity they will be able to do throughout life and I was able to teach them how staying active as they get older can be very beneficial for mental and physical health. \r\n\r\nOur next unit will be Yoga thanks to the donation of yoga mats and cards. Yoga has many mental health benefits and I'm excited to be able to introduce them to it.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your kindness and support. You have made a lasting difference in our school community, and we truly appreciate your generosity.","fullyFundedDate":1730249978967,"projectUrl":"project/mental-health-and-fitness-in-physical-ed/8908675/","projectTitle":"Mental Health and Fitness in Physical Education","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Kanouff","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9819033"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_23144","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":500,"numTeachers":38,"percentFrplEligible":53,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":8,"percentWhite":73,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":5,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"11 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"13.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":68.4,"schoolId":23144,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Orleans - Niagara BOCES School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Orleans - Niagara BOCES School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/-county-run-/orleans-niagara-boces-school/23144"}
