From building confidence in acting and stepping into character roles to enhancing choreography, singing, and stage presence, these materials supported every aspect of the performance. One unforgettable moment was watching students fully embody their characters during rehearsal—transforming from hesitant performers into confident storytellers who owned the stage with pride and excitement.\r\n \r\n\r\nThe students were absolutely amazed and energized when they first saw the materials. Their faces lit up with excitement, and you could immediately feel the shift in engagement and motivation. They knew right away that something special was happening, and it inspired them to take their roles more seriously and give their very best effort.\r\n \r\n\r\nAs we wrap up The Road to Oz, our next steps are focused on reflection, growth, and connection to classroom learning. Students will engage in writing and discussion activities where they analyze their performance, teamwork, and personal growth throughout the process. We will also connect their experiences to literacy and speaking standards by having students present and reflect on how the arts helped them build confidence, collaboration skills, and perseverance—skills that will carry into future academic and real-world opportunities.","fullyFundedDate":1769475402645,"projectUrl":"project/lights-lines-and-lifelong-confidence/10007973/","projectTitle":"Lights, Lines, and Lifelong Confidence: The Road to Oz","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Smoot","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10401783_orig.png?crop=1080,1080,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1769122731905","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10401783"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_2800","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":261,"numTeachers":18,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":4,"percentBlack":52,"percentWhite":21,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":11,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"14.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":62.8,"schoolId":2800,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Joyner Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Joyner Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/north-carolina/guilford-county-schools/joyner-elementary-school/2800"}
