They were so eager to explore and immediately began asking questions, sharing ideas, and connecting what they learned to real-world situations.

Recently, we've been working on a hands-on project where students apply what they've learned in creative ways. The new materials have helped them collaborate more effectively, practice critical thinking, and express their ideas clearly. The classroom feels more alive, and their enthusiasm shows in every lesson!","fullyFundedDate":1758202919213,"projectUrl":"project/headphones-and-other-essentials/9483848/","projectTitle":"Headphones and Other Essentials","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Timms","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9094866_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1689530443023","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9094866"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_16989","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":249,"numTeachers":32,"percentFrplEligible":84,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":79,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":18,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"7.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":69.2,"schoolId":16989,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Birdie Alexander Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Birdie Alexander Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/dallas-independent-school-district/birdie-alexander-elementary-school/16989"}
