The students were excited to pick their color pencil pouch and organize their supplies. These pencil pouches have help my students stay responsible and organized with their school supplies. The students felt great joy when they arrived at our school. There have been less supplies left on the floor at the end of the day. The student's supplies also do not go missing as often as before with their new pencil pouches. \r\n The colorful headphones have been a hit in the classroom as well. Students feel comfortable and confident when working online using their headphones. Students also feel a pride of ownership because they got to pick the color they wanted. Every student has a special pouch that they are put away in when not in use. I have observed students getting excited and staying focused when it is time to take them out and use them. The headphones motivate the students to try their best during online learning time. The students also do a great job at taking care of them as well. \r\n Thank you so much for giving my classroom these resources and putting smiles on the faces of my students.","fullyFundedDate":1726267901681,"projectUrl":"project/sound-for-everyone/8758901/","projectTitle":"Sound for Everyone","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Sito","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2367307_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1453788491510","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/l-ferreira"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_7730","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":586,"numTeachers":30,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":28,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":68,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"19.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":77.8,"schoolId":7730,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Tibby Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Tibby Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/compton-unified-school-district/tibby-elementary-school/7730"}
