So far, many have loved receiving real \" snail mail\" of handwritten cards letting them know that their accomplishments in art are celebrated and they are an important facet of our artistic community. \r\nMany of the students have stated it was one of their first times receiving mail at home and I hope to continue the tradition of hand written letters for years to come. I feel it is important for students to feel celebrated in class, but also as teenagers many do not \" Brag\" at home about their wonderful art work- this allows a chance for them to be recognized at home as well. \r\nThank you again!","fullyFundedDate":1769177987307,"projectUrl":"project/written-rewards/9983738/","projectTitle":"Written Rewards!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Friedland","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3377934_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1450393368220","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/teacherfriedland"},{"teacherId":3377934,"projectId":9679073,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting my amazing art students with the Oui Si games! The students are enjoying using the game as a way to \" jump start\" their knowledge of the elements and principles of art. The game, which is made from hundreds of micro and macro images from nature, museums and everyday experiences allows the students to understand and work with pictures as examples of the elements of art and principles of design. \r\nSo far, the games have been utilized in Photo1, Art 1, Art 2 and advanced art classes. Students have been assigned into groups in order to place a collection of the cards in \" order\" based on a specific element of art ( Color, textures, shapes, forms etc). It has been wonderful as all students are building their confidence- SPED students, english language learners - everyone feels included with the amazing visual examples... and the community it has built in our classroom. \r\nThank you again~","fullyFundedDate":1767226962638,"projectUrl":"project/ouisi-give-amazing-art-students-the-gif/9679073/","projectTitle":"OuiSi!
