In our 1st through 4th grade General Music classes, music content constantly builds on prior knowledge, so keeping our work organized is essential. Previously, students would take their worksheets and music home or accidentally throw them away, leaving them with nothing to refer back to when a concept reappeared. Now, these durable plastic folders give every student a dedicated home for their work. During a recent rhythm and pitch lesson, my 3rd graders were able to turn back to notes from earlier in the term to solve a musical puzzle independently—a moment of self-reliance that would not have been possible without these folders.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the colorful, sturdy materials, they were thrilled. They loved the idea of having their very own \"official\" music folder that stays in the classroom just for them. Their faces lit up as they put their names on the covers and inserted their first assignments. They are genuinely excited to keep their work safe and look back at how much they have grown as young musicians over the school year.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, our next steps involve building on these foundational concepts as we dive into reading standard musical notation and learning simple melodies. Students will continue adding new music theory pages, listening journals, and song lyrics to their folders, using them as personalized learning portfolios. Thanks to your support, my students aren't just learning music day-by-day—they are actively building a resource they can return to and take pride in all year long.","fullyFundedDate":1786541602152,"projectUrl":"project/folders-full-of-musical-growth/10390655/","projectTitle":"Folders Full of Musical Growth","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Silver-Schack","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10556937"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_27039","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":486,"numTeachers":58,"percentFrplEligible":31,"percentAsian":33,"percentBlack":7,"percentWhite":36,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":15,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":5,"gradesServed":"1 - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"8.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":80.6,"schoolId":27039,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Hawthorn Elementary School South on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Hawthorn Elementary School South","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/illinois/hawthorn-community-consolidated-school-district-73/hawthorn-elementary-school-south/27039"}
