Trying out our new Construction Crayolas brought oohs and aahs as we used these specially formulated crayons to decorate gingerbread houses printed on brown paper for our December calendars and made rubbings with leaves collected from our school native plant garden. They've become a tool students enjoy using daily as they color and create.\r\nThe goal with this Donors Choose project was to expand how often we engaged in artistic learning with new and unexpected media and tools. One example is our winter wonderland literacy unit. That led us to science lessons about how snowflakes are formed, continuing with art where we created paper snowflakes. Students used our new squirt bottles to \"spray\" white paint on our flakes. The students loved using the squirt bottles and seeing the results. Other teachers and staff have loved seeing what our class creates and admire our student gallery.\r\nWe're only at the halfway point of our school year and have so many more artistic experiences planned-- air dry clay, more painting, more pastels! It's been inspiring and gratifying to see students embrace their artistic endeavors and get excited whenever art is on our schedule.","fullyFundedDate":1762267620729,"projectUrl":"project/a-deep-dive-into-art-techniques-with-han/9582068/","projectTitle":"A Deep Dive into Art Techniques With Hands-on Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Kessinger","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9682683"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_36030","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":420,"numTeachers":28,"percentFrplEligible":43,"percentAsian":14,"percentBlack":12,"percentWhite":39,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":20,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"1 - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"15.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":78.3,"schoolId":36030,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Echo Lake Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Echo Lake Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/washington/shoreline-public-schools/echo-lake-elementary-school/36030"}
