The new materials have helped them collaborate more effectively, practice critical thinking, and express their ideas clearly. The classroom feels more alive, and their enthusiasm shows in every lesson!","fullyFundedDate":1758202919213,"projectUrl":"project/headphones-and-other-essentials/9483848/","projectTitle":"Headphones and Other Essentials","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Timms","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9094866_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1689530443023","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9094866"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_16989","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":249,"numTeachers":32,"percentFrplEligible":84,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":79,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":18,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"7.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":66.7,"schoolId":16989,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Birdie Alexander Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Birdie Alexander Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/dallas-independent-school-district/birdie-alexander-elementary-school/16989"}
