They are working in conjunction with the photography team as they sharpen their skills on setting up the studio area and practicing filming each other. \r\n\r\nThe students are gaining such wonderful skills as they learning better interviewing techniques and improve their public speaking skills.

We've integrated the math games into our daily lessons, turning what used to be a challenging subject into an engaging activity. I remember one particular moment when a student who always struggled with PEMDAS suddenly grasped the concept while playing one of the games. The excitement and confidence boost were priceless. The pens and fidget toys have also been a game-changer, helping students stay focused during independent work, and the snacks ensure everyone has the energy to participate and learn. Looking ahead, we're building on this foundation with an exciting project-based learning unit. Students will use their newfound math skills to design and budget for their own mini-businesses. This project will not only reinforce their understanding of key concepts but also foster creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving skills. Your contribution has laid the groundwork for this innovative learning experience, and we're incredibly grateful for your support in helping our students reach their full potential.","fullyFundedDate":1758203010312,"projectUrl":"project/encouraging-progress/9456829/","projectTitle":"Encouraging progress","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. covay-parkes","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9740990"},{"teacherId":41763,"projectId":9895318,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting my classroom library.
