The new supplies (a container of Screen & Electronics Wipes, a 3 pack of Febreeze AIR sprays and a 3 pack of Febreze Luxe plug-in scent refills (Mountain, Ocean and Rainforest)) have gone a long way to making the classroom feel fresh and comfortable and has given our multilingual learners a space in which they can really do their best. We use the wipes every day as part of our small group rotations to wipe down the laptops, tablets and interactive screens. The sprays and plug-ins are used to keep the classroom smelling absolutely fresh and pleasant.\r\n\r\nAs part of a recent digital storytelling project the pupils worked in pairs on the classroom laptops to produce visual slide presentations and record spoken English stories using new vocabulary. Prior to each group using the equipment the student helpers would of course be using the Screen & Electronics Wipes to wipe down the keyboards, mice and touchscreens. One of the more quiet, reticent new student took it upon himself to do this completely. He would hand out the wipes and go through the wiping process in English to the rest of the class. Taking ownership of those tools clearly gave him a massive confidence boost and enabled him to speak much more during the group work.\r\n\r\nWhen we opened the pack the kids were absolutely thrilled to see the supplies that would make the classroom feel special and looked after. They were immediately struck by the different scents of the Febreze Luxe Plugs (one kid said \"it smells like a forest!\" and another \"can we have the Ocean scent next?\"). They also really liked the idea of having wipes specifically for their learning tech. For the multilingual learners in particular, coming into a clean, pleasant classroom each day is a big help in terms of reducing anxiety and making them feel at home and valued.\r\n\r\nBuilding on that momentum the students are now moving into the final phase of their digital storytelling unit. Over the next two weeks they will be editing their multimedia slides on clean devices and will be practising their spoken recordings. The unit will conclude with a Digital 'Language Showcase' where the students will be presenting their interactive stories to their peers and to visiting teachers, using the language (vocabulary and sentence structures) that they have been working on.","fullyFundedDate":1782316008038,"projectUrl":"project/end-of-year-cleaning/10327548/","projectTitle":"End of Year Cleaning","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Shamsundar","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10694771_orig.png?crop=394,394,x0,y15&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1790550944296","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10694771"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_106356","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":503,"numTeachers":33,"percentFrplEligible":91,"percentAsian":17,"percentBlack":22,"percentWhite":40,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":14,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":1,"percentMultiracialImputed":2,"gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"15.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":67.6,"schoolId":106356,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Origins High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Origins High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/new-york-city-dept-of-ed/origins-high-school/106356"}
