Your contribution made it possible for us to purchase a full class set of headphones for my students and a rolling teacher stand for me. These resources have already made such a positive difference in our daily learning.\r\n\r\nThe headphones allow students to receive more individualized instruction, work at their own pace, and engage with online tools that require sound. They've also brought a little extra joy to our classroom—students love our \"Math Music Days,\" where they get to listen to fun, themed playlists while working through practice problems. It's amazing to see how something so simple can boost motivation and focus!\r\n\r\nI'm also incredibly thankful for the rolling teacher stand. It helps me stay mobile while teaching, allowing me to move easily around the room, check in with students, and keep lessons flowing smoothly. Your generosity has truly helped make our classroom a more dynamic, engaging place to learn.","fullyFundedDate":1757544267201,"projectUrl":"project/tuned-in-and-on-the-move/9646308/","projectTitle":"Tuned in and on the Move!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Fischer","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10220896_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1757550209230","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10220896"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_92036","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":925,"numTeachers":74,"percentFrplEligible":30,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":6,"percentWhite":70,"percentIndigenous":5,"percentLatinx":7,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"12.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":69.8,"schoolId":92036,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Patrick Henry Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Patrick Henry Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/south-dakota/sioux-falls-school-district-49-5/patrick-henry-middle-school/92036"}
