We've been putting the new art and clay supplies to great use, and the students have loved every minute of it.\r\n\r\nThe supplies you provided have helped our students bring their creative ideas to life. In a recent project, we created our own board games. Before, students had to use basic materials like construction paper and cardboard, which limited their designs. Now, with the new polymer clay, they've been able to sculpt unique game pieces and design intricate board elements. We've also been able to make dice with custom numbers, and we've been using the new art supplies to create fantastic game boards and cards. The students' enthusiasm was through the roof when they saw all the new materials. They were so excited to see how their ideas could be made into real objects, and they couldn't wait to start sculpting.\r\n\r\nThe next steps for this project involve finishing our games and testing them out. The students will be playtesting each other's games, providing constructive feedback, and making any final adjustments to their designs. The final step will be to share these with other classes, giving the students a chance to show off their hard work.\r\n\r\nAgain, thank you so much for your generous donations. You've given our students the opportunity to express themselves in new and exciting ways, and we couldn't be more grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1746843138399,"projectUrl":"project/steam-and-project-based-learning-in-eng/9329011/","projectTitle":"STEAM and Project Based Learning in English!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Brown","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9007208_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1692116200986","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9007208"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_15301","uses�ǿմ�ý":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":764,"numTeachers":61,"percentFrplEligible":91,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":14,"percentWhite":25,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":54,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"12.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":64.3,"schoolId":15301,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Mann Middle School on @�ǿմ�ý:","schoolName":"Mann Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/abilene-independent-school-district/mann-middle-school/15301"}
