Students daily ask for the Slinkys. We spent a lot of time building steps and the Slinkys walk down the stairs well but I have found that students use the Slinkys as a regulation tool too. They walk around or sit down with friends and hold the Slinkys and roll them back and forth. It is a soothing feeling so not only have the kids worked on science but also their social and emotional healing. \r\nWe are excited to paint with a variety of brushes. The new paints are so vibrant and the kids love them. We borrowed a microscope from the science department and students are learning about what small animals look like under the lens.\r\nYour donation is appreciated and is being used daily.","fullyFundedDate":1787585462916,"projectUrl":"project/science-engineering-and-art-fun-in-the/10379908/","projectTitle":"Science, Engineering and Art Fun in the Library","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Newburger","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp242241_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1479173940783","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/lnewburger"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_1683","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":773,"numTeachers":47,"percentFrplEligible":23,"percentAsian":9,"percentBlack":12,"percentWhite":57,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":17,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":4,"gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"16.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":86.3,"schoolId":1683,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about South Charlotte Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"South Charlotte Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/north-carolina/charlotte-mecklenburg-school-district/south-charlotte-middle-school/1683"}
