The storage rack has brought so much order to our space; it's amazing how something so practical can have such a big impact on our daily routine. The Ottoman chairs and table stickers have become the spot for students who need a little extra support. It's their favorite place now, and it's wonderful to see how eager they are to work in small groups. Most of all, the guitar has brought a whole new energy to our lessons. When we turned our poetry review into songs, the classroom lit up. The students had so much fun that we've kept the music going, now we are even using songs to learn math, including a recent lesson on fractions!\r\n\r\nWhat's even more exciting is how all of this has boosted their confidence, especially leading up to the STAAR test on April 9. The creative lessons and organized space helped them feel more prepared and calm, and you could really see their pride in how far they've come. Your support has gone beyond materials; it's helped create a classroom where students feel capable, excited to learn, and ready to show what they know. Thank you for being such an important part of their journey.","fullyFundedDate":1743008065513,"projectUrl":"project/melodies-and-moments-transforming-readi/9142615/","projectTitle":"Melodies and Moments: Transforming Reading With Music","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Villamizar","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9935590_orig.jpg?crop=1205,1205,x0,y16&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1741271311382","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9935590"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_16457","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":328,"numTeachers":31,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":4,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":89,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"10.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":74.2,"schoolId":16457,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Palm Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Palm Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/austin-independent-school-district/palm-elementary-school/16457"}
