Because of your generosity, I was able to provide a recorder for every fifth-grade student. Your support has made a wonderful difference in our music classroom! My students are learning to play their recorders one note at a time through a program called Recorder Karate. As they master songs at different levels, they earn colored ribbons to tie onto their recorders, much like earning belts in karate. They absolutely love the challenge, the friendly competition, and the excitement of earning their next colored \"belt\"!\r\n\r\nMy students were surprised and thrilled when they received their recorders. Their excitement was contagious, and they couldn't wait to begin playing! It has been exciting watching them discover that they can make music together.\r\n\r\nThese recorders are helping my students develop more than musical skills. They are learning responsibility by caring for their instruments, remembering to bring them to class, and practicing what they have learned. One of the most heartwarming surprises has been seeing how willing they are to help and encourage one another as they learn to play.\r\n\r\nThank you again for allowing these students to discover their musical talents and experience a sense of achievement.

Your willingness to give directly impacts the success and experience of every student in our classroom, and we are truly thankful.\r\n\r\nBefore we received these headphones, it was sometimes difficult for students to concentrate when several devices were playing audio at the same time. Some students had to share headphones, which made it harder for everyone to work independently. Now, thanks to your generosity, each student can fully participate in digital lessons and activities in a way that is comfortable and productive.\r\n\r\nYour support also shows our students that people outside of our classroom care about their education. Knowing that others believe in them and want them to succeed is incredibly motivating. It reminds them that their learning matters and encourages them to work hard, stay curious, and do their very best.\r\n\r\nOn behalf of my entire class, thank you for investing in our learning and helping provide the tools we need to succeed. The headphones you helped provide will be used every day as students explore new ideas, practice important skills, and continue building their confidence as learners.","fullyFundedDate":1772083514372,"projectUrl":"project/headphones-needed/10112643/","projectTitle":"Headphones Needed","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. McAllister","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9094983_orig.jpg?crop=960,960,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1688862064418","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9094983"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_13867","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":409,"numTeachers":36,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":9,"percentWhite":40,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":43,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":4,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"11.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":62.7,"schoolId":13867,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Bayshore Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Bayshore Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/la-porte-independent-school-district/bayshore-elementary-school/13867"}
