Thanks to your support through DonorsChoose, we were recently able to host our very first Open Mic Friday an inspiring event that gave students a safe and welcoming space to share their creativity and voices.\r\n\r\nAs part of the event, students created concrete poems inspired by characters from the novel we're reading in class. These poems allowed them to explore character perspectives in a deeply personal and artistic way. They also had the opportunity to reflect on stereotypes or challenges they've overcome, sharing powerful messages with their peers.\r\n\r\nTo celebrate their hard work and bravery, students were treated to snacks during the event, which helped create a relaxed, supportive environment. The experience was so impactful that students are already asking when the next Open Mic Friday will be.","fullyFundedDate":1755730595544,"projectUrl":"project/positive-behavior-support-system/9476179/","projectTitle":"Positive Behavior Support System","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Smith","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8192065_orig.jpg?crop=2208,2208,x0,y250&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1659667133546","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8192065"},{"teacherId":9807382,"projectId":8887496,"letterContent":"Words cannot begin to describe the appreciation my students and I have to you for your generosity. \r\nIn my initial post of this fundraiser, I was describing the ways in which my ukulele's would aid my students. The biggest focus of that were my English Language Learners (ELL's). These students, for a couple of weeks, were having so much trouble keeping up in my classroom despite my efforts of communicating with them through the language barrier. However, when we gained access to these beautiful instruments, I could see a quick shift. With ukulele, I didn't need to describe things to them like I had to before. I would show them a chart or move their fingers for them to help them in playing. I was suddenly able to communicate with them through the ukulele; showing them strumming patterns and chords and having them copy me. And finally, I could see a light in their eyes. They finally were able to receive clear help from me without someone translating. They were finally able to keep up in class because they didn't need to understand my words, they just had to understand and see my hands.\r\nThank you for allowing me to help my students feel a part of a community, and to feel like they belong.","fullyFundedDate":1730669633587,"projectUrl":"project/help-my-kids-juke-with-a-uke/8887496/","projectTitle":"Help My Kids Juke With a Uke!","teacherDisplayName":"Mx.
