The first and biggest way these were used is during State testing the students were given a mouse so that they could use it to click on their answer rather then using the touchpad that is hard to use at times. They also used the headphones at this time because the headphones they got at the beginning of the year were starting to break. Also, the headphones that the district provided to use in this case wouldn't always work the whole time. This made it hard for the students to concentrate.\r\n\r\nThe students were really excited when I told them that they were going to be able to use these materials during State testing. They knew that it would help them achieve their goals on the test as well as make it easier to do what they needed to the rest of the year. \r\n\r\nI will be transferring over to another elementary school in Auburn and I will bring these supplies along with me. The students at this new school are lower academically and are more low income so they will love using these tools. They aren't used to having things like this because their parents can't afford them and so they will love to use them.","fullyFundedDate":1740690421562,"projectUrl":"project/help-with-computer-and-board-work/9117206/","projectTitle":"Help with Computer and Board work","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Church","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8483113_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1691024212245","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8483113"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_94457","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":367,"numTeachers":34,"percentFrplEligible":71,"percentAsian":30,"percentBlack":10,"percentWhite":25,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":20,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"10.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":80.8,"schoolId":94457,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Arthur Jacobsen Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Arthur Jacobsen Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/washington/auburn-school-district-408/arthur-jacobsen-elementary-school/94457"}
