Being able to have some of the fluorescent lights off and the gentle glow of the lamps around the room is making a difference. The students enjoy going next to the lamps to read or complete partner work. It was really fun seeing their faces the first time I used the penguin lamp as an indicator of when they can and can't approach me when doing small group stations. They're always asking to see what other fun colors and features it has.\r\n\r\nThe biggest game changer in the classroom has been the digital wall clock. Instead of students interrupting a lesson to ask what time it is in order to sign out of the classroom, they can easily see the time. The clock is also close enough to the analog wall clock that seeing both, will continue to help them learn to tell time using the regular clock.\r\n\r\nThis project has made such a positive vibe in the classroom. I can't express my appreciation enough.","fullyFundedDate":1752892951279,"projectUrl":"project/brighten-my-students-day/9455388/","projectTitle":"Brighten My Students Day","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Coel","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8698169_orig.jpg?crop=1429,1429,x0,y200&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1688431151225","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8698169"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_60938","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":488,"numTeachers":42,"percentFrplEligible":56,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":88,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":4,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 4","studentTeacherRatio":"11.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":68.1,"schoolId":60938,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Tainter Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Tainter Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/wisconsin/rice-lake-area-school-district/tainter-elementary-school/60938"}
