Students in my classroom will be using these items donated to make music during their music unit. They will be able to work together as a team and learn how music can be made with different types of instruments. When I introduced music for the 1st time last year my students enjoyed watching videos of other students using boomwackers and asked if they can have some for this year. With your help you made that happen. \r\n\r\nWhen they come back from Christmas break I am going to introduce them to their new instruments this year including their 8 note bells that I have a class set now to use. \r\nThank you for your support.","fullyFundedDate":1787320694937,"projectUrl":"project/creating-a-better-future-for-students-to/10456294/","projectTitle":"Creating a Better Future for Students to Get to College","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Garcia","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10579997"},{"teacherId":10352700,"projectId":9900159,"letterContent":"1st graders depend on incentives each and every day.

We are truly blown away by your love and generosity. My students were so excited and thankful to find out they were gifted so many supplies and even better during the Thanksgiving/ Christmas season. My school serves many of our surrounding low income communities and many of our families cannot afford to purchase supplies like scissors, pencils, glue sticks, etc. Your donations have been used daily by students. Whether it be a cut and paste, painting, or clean up, your donations have provided support to be able to successfully complete our work. We proudly showcase our work outside of the classroom so others can enjoy what we work on. It truly is exciting to see my students be so excited to display their work. My goal for my students is to create a memory folder at the end of the year with a collection of their work throughout the school year. This folder will be a surprise for their families and a keepsake of their child's work for the 25-25 school year.","fullyFundedDate":1762871013952,"projectUrl":"project/we-dont-make-mistakes-just-happy-littl/9459855/","projectTitle":"We Don’t Make Mistakes, Just Happy Little Accidents","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Ochoa","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10077624_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1784852016688","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10077624"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_129176","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":400,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":85,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":6,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":91,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":0,"gradesServed":"K - 3","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":39.1,"schoolId":129176,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Idea Academy - Harlingen on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Idea Academy - Harlingen","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/idea-public-schools/idea-academy-harlingen/129176"}
