They were all so excited to get new headphones to use with their Ipads. These headphones are such great quality and will definitly help them focus on their Ipad assignments. They really enjoyed choosing from the different colors available. One student wanted the white headphones because he said he wanted to be an astronaut! The students will be testing on their Ipads next week so these came in at the perfect time. \r\n\r\nThe crayons are also a great addition to our classroom. Many of their crayons need replacing and these will help with that. They are a great quality and will last for a long time. Students are still working on their coloring skills and these big crayons will keep helping them improve. \r\n \r\nHaving donors like you help out our students, make them understand that people from all over the USA are willing to help others. We are very appriciative of your kind and generous donation.","fullyFundedDate":1738074039794,"projectUrl":"project/listen-create-action/9063908/","projectTitle":"Listen, Create, Action!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Moncivais","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5563355_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1680112207074","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5563355"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_15387","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":398,"numTeachers":38,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":98,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"10.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":53.8,"schoolId":15387,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Newman Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Newman Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/united-independent-school-district/newman-elementary-school/15387"}
