The moment our students saw the new drum set, their eyes lit up with excitement. Many of them had never had the chance to play a full drum kit before, and now they're eagerly taking turns, learning to keep steady rhythms and collaborate in small group ensembles. One of our 5th grade students who typically struggles with focus has found a sense of purpose and leadership behind the drums—it's been a beautiful shift to witness.\r\n\r\nThe ukulele tuners have also made a tremendous difference in our daily lessons. Instead of struggling to tune by ear, students are now quickly and independently tuning their instruments, which has increased our instructional time and improved the overall sound of the group. The confidence they feel when they hear their ukuleles in tune has led to better participation and more joy during performances and practice.\r\n\r\nCurrently, our students are working on a multicultural music unit where they're combining ukulele chords and drum patterns to perform songs from different parts of the world. These tools have not only enhanced their technical skills but also sparked curiosity about global music traditions. Thanks to you, our classroom now hums (and drums!) with purpose, excitement, and discovery. We are truly grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1721677932594,"projectUrl":"project/weve-got-rhythm/8492192/","projectTitle":"We've Got Rhythm","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Thomas","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9589199_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753105393276","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9589199"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_16980","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":528,"numTeachers":30,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":32,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":64,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"17.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":64.3,"schoolId":16980,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Ramey Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Ramey Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/tyler-independent-school-district/ramey-elementary-school/16980"}
