In the STEAM Lab, each fourth-grade class chose a specific ocean zone and animals unique to that ocean zone for their part in the musical. After researching the ocean animals, students have started working on their props in the art room. The cardboard used for the props is first prepared using Gesso on large sheets of cardboard donated by Lowe's. The prepared cardboard is then cut into shapes of the ocean animals and then painted with the neon paint purchased with your generous support. In the next few months, students will finish making the props then begin working with our music teacher to create a musical. It has been such a special opportunity for our students to work collaboratively with other 4th-grade students, and across subject areas including Science, Art, and Music. Many of you have students at our school and we can't wait to share the musical with fellow students, parents, family members, and our community in April. Your generous support means so much to our students and our school. Thank you for dreaming with us and supporting our vision to bring art, music, STEM, and stewardship to our wonderful 4th grade students. We are so grateful!","fullyFundedDate":1731510025020,"projectUrl":"project/marine-debris-musical-stem-theater-p/8933090/","projectTitle":"Marine Debris Musical: STEM, Theater & Planet Stewardship","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hodges","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6173224_orig.jpg?crop=999,999,x0,y540&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1676510052012","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/hodgesscience"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_62571","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":589,"numTeachers":52,"percentFrplEligible":45,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":8,"percentWhite":67,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":11,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"11.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":78.8,"schoolId":62571,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Patronis Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Patronis Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/bay-county-school-district/patronis-elementary-school/62571"}
