The students are working on characters who are amazing in this story. The students are also working on adjectives describing the characters and adding them to their writing to make it more colorful.\r\n\r\nThank you so much from the bottom of our hearts.

This also helps them to work on their cooking and kitchen skills. \r\nThe books that the students got were so amazing, and they loved The Hobbit. It is always great to be able to give students with disabilities the opportunity to read and do things that their general education peers do. It really helps them to feel included.","fullyFundedDate":1737690716716,"projectUrl":"project/life-skills-and-literacy/9014947/","projectTitle":"Life Skills and Literacy","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Kitchen","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2559033_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1477337001231","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrskitchens"},{"teacherId":9546626,"projectId":8901229,"letterContent":"I want to express my sincere gratitude for your incredible support of our recent \"Sheep Eye Dissection Lab.\" Your contributions have transformed a theoretical lesson on the human eye into an unforgettable, hands-on learning experience for our students.\r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity, we were able to purchase the preserved sheep and cows eyes. This project brought the complexities of ocular anatomy to life in a way that no textbook or diagram could ever replicate.\r\n\r\nThe lab itself was a remarkable moment. We began with a detailed discussion of the eye's structure and function, using diagrams and videos to illustrate the various components. However, the true learning began when we unpacked the preserved sheep eyes. A collective gasp filled the room, followed by a flurry of excited whispers. Some students were a little apprehensive, but their curiosity quickly overcame any hesitation.\r\n\r\nThe students were immediately engaged, meticulously following the dissection instructions and carefully examining each part of the eye. They were amazed to see the lens, the retina, the optic nerve, and the vitreous humor firsthand. The ability to physically manipulate these structures provided them with a deeper understanding of their roles in vision.","fullyFundedDate":1731028481050,"projectUrl":"project/lightwave-demos/8901229/","projectTitle":"Lightwave Demos!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Filyk","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9546626"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_41573","uses�ǿմ�ý":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":673,"numTeachers":35,"percentFrplEligible":44,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":47,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":43,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"19.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":68.6,"schoolId":41573,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Skinner Middle School on @�ǿմ�ý:","schoolName":"Skinner Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/colorado/denver-public-school-district-1/skinner-middle-school/41573"}
