I know that it is just glaze for clay but in seeing the students light up during the glazing process when their pieces come out of the kiln really hits home how this extra thing really means a lot to them. \r\nFor my middle schoolers, this is the first time we are offering ceramics so many have never been given a chance to work with clay, so seeing what glaze does had such an impact that a few students tried different techniques they researched to see what they could come up with! I am impressed with the results so far as we are only in quarter one with another go to end the first semester. \r\nSo once again thank you so much for giving to my project.

Because of your support, this cozy corner has quickly become the most beloved spot in the room—students beg to sit in it every period, and books are being checked out at a fast pace.\r\n\r\nThe Book Nook has also become a calming space for students who are dysregulated, allowing them to refocus and work productively in a way that isn't always possible at their desks. During our Silent Reading Wednesdays, classes look forward to taking turns in the nook, and the rotation has become a highlight of their week.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has inspired new and engaging activities, such as our Musical Books lesson, where students rotated among titles from the nook and wrote reviews. Afterward, they raced to the sign-out sheet to check out books that sparked their interest. Thank you for creating a space that fosters curiosity, supports emotional well-being, and cultivates a genuine love of reading in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1755712167323,"projectUrl":"project/read-relax-repeat/9312425/","projectTitle":"Read.
