Our 400 students were thrilled to see the new equipment, and they simply couldn't wait to get their hands on it. The ribbons and scarves have been great for helping students get out of their shell and begin dancing to folk songs with joy. The parachutes are great for the teaching of a variety of musical concepts, and I just know that the students will love it when we get to it in the coming months. We even have some cross curricular instruction happening using the ribbons to visualize the wavelengths of different pitches (meeting both music and science standards simultaneously).\r\n\r\nI have already watched students make strong, concrete connections to musical concepts that are otherwise too abstract for them to fully understand at their age. The ability to make musical concepts such as dynamics, form, pitch, articulation, and texture visual and kinesthetic as well as aural is so incredibly valuable to the music classroom. These complex ideas are now within the reach of our 8, 9, and 10 year old students.\r\n\r\nOur students will be enjoying the benefits of this equipment for years to come, and with each year a new set of approximately 100 Gentry students will benefit from this project. Over the years, I fully expect that thousands of Gentry students will learn, grow, and benefit musically from your gift. Your impact will last in this classroom for many years.","fullyFundedDate":1752586354025,"projectUrl":"project/gis-musical-movement-project/9284264/","projectTitle":"GIS Musical Movement Project","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Alwood","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9214854_orig.jpg?crop=716,716,x302,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1745610432691","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9214854"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_69191","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":416,"numTeachers":27,"percentFrplEligible":59,"percentAsian":7,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":58,"percentIndigenous":2,"percentLatinx":18,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"3 - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"15.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":68.7,"schoolId":69191,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Gentry Intermediate School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Gentry Intermediate School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/arkansas/gentry-public-schools/gentry-intermediate-school/69191"}
