The moment the students walked into the classroom and saw them for the first time, their eyes lit up with excitement and curiosity. It was one of those unforgettable teaching moments where you could feel the energy shift – like they suddenly knew something amazing was about to happen.\r\n\r\nSince the arrival of the drums, we've jumped right into learning rhythms from around the world, exploring how percussion connects people, cultures, and stories. Right now, our band is working on two iconic songs that the students chose themselves: \"We Will Rock You\" by Queen and \"Seven Nation Army\" by The White Stripes. The classroom has become a lively, creative space where students collaborate, listen, and take ownership of their musical learning.\r\n\r\nOne particularly powerful moment happened during our first full-band rehearsal of \"We Will Rock You.\" As the students stomped and clapped the beat in perfect unison, you could see the pride on their faces. They weren't just playing music – they were creating something together. For many of them, it was the first time they had felt like musicians.\r\n\r\nYour donation made that possible.\r\n\r\nThank you for giving my students the tools to find their rhythm, their voice, and their confidence. Your support is truly making a lasting impact in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1746787321479,"projectUrl":"project/drumming-into-the-hearts-of-children/9133226/","projectTitle":"Drumming Into the Hearts of Children!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Canal","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9932187_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754837040363","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9932187"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_97370","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":351,"numTeachers":35,"percentFrplEligible":52,"percentAsian":33,"percentBlack":12,"percentWhite":24,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":22,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"10.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":54.6,"schoolId":97370,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Ethical Community Charter School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Ethical Community Charter School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-jersey/new-jersey-department-of-education/ethical-community-charter-school/97370"}
