Because of your generosity, we have been able to provide our students with the supplies and materials they need to rehearse, create, and fully participate in the theatrical process. These resources have supported everything from rehearsals and scene work to character development and preparation for performances, giving students more opportunities to learn through hands-on experiences rather than simply talking about theatre.\r\n\r\nOne of the most exciting parts has been seeing students realize that these materials are truly for them. Having access to the supplies they need helps make Drama Club feel like a real creative space where their ideas can come to life. Students are able to collaborate, experiment, make artistic choices, and take greater ownership of what they are creating. Their excitement and investment have continued to grow as they see each piece of our work come together.\r\n\r\nOur next steps are to continue using these resources as students prepare for upcoming performances and Drama Club activities throughout the school year. As we move from rehearsals into more complete scenes and productions, these materials will continue to help students strengthen their confidence, creativity, teamwork, and performance skills.

Students took turns taking photos as part of an outdoor nature scavenger hunt. It was really awesome to teach them how to properly use a camera that wasn't pre-programmed on a touchscreen phone. They learned how to switch between video and camera modes, night view versus day time view, and more. You'd be surprised how many kids have never touched a digital camera or even know what a polaroid is for that matter. The digital tablets and the 3D pens were also a big hit this summer. Kids enjoyed using the template guide to make things like 3D glasses and butterflies. As we go forward with these new tools, i'd love to see kids figure out how to use these tools in their own art making processes. My ultimate goal is for each lesson i teach, kids get to pick a preferred medium to achieve their project; so some kids may pick painting, but someone else may pick 3D pens, or photography to do their project. Choice-based learning experiences are the goal, and are a proven HIT with both elementary and middle school students.","fullyFundedDate":1778264530357,"projectUrl":"project/digital-arts-media-projects/10207454/","projectTitle":"Digital Arts & Media Projects","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Ashley Wansley","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9807390_orig.png?crop=320,320,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1767107600327","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9807390"},{"teacherId":9807390,"projectId":9974988,"letterContent":"During the warmer months, my students were able to make some fun clay projects where they got to explore molding, shape building, slab forming and more. This was our first time working with the crayola air dry clay and we learned how messy it can get, how easily it dried overnight and many ways to manipulate it using our hands and water. My students were really excited to finally get some pottery-style level clay in the room. We often use a cheaper version more similar to dough. So, i really appreciate the donors for making this opportunity possible for them. My next steps are to expand on their usage of clay, techniques, and clay tool usage. I am working on more lessons this year that allow them to explore more clay and specific tools so that they can further explore the medium as an artmaking strategy and look at its usage from a multicultural standpoint and the history behind the craft of clay-forming.","fullyFundedDate":1776277422915,"projectUrl":"project/semester-2-artroomrevamp/9974988/","projectTitle":"Semester 2 ArtRoomRevamp!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Ashley Wansley","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9807390_orig.png?crop=320,320,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1767107600327","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9807390"},{"teacherId":7927324,"projectId":10301897,"letterContent":"I just wanted to personally thank you for your generous contribution to my project.
