We began including our new instruments as they arrived, and every student got to learn how to play each one, and experiment with the sounds they make. They were shocked how different the 'loud' and 'quiet' sides of the wood block were! It was an excellent opportunity for us to discuss how sound vibrations have to travel through the wood, and how it makes the sound softer the more wood there is travel through. As we were also studying different instrument families, we were able to make larger connections to how other instruments function as well.\r\n\r\nThe buckets were the most exciting part! Due to how loud they were, we were only able to play them once a week on Fridays- the rest of the week we'd learn our rhythmic patterns on the floor in preparation. It made the buckets something extra special and worth practicing for. Kinder and 1st learned the same piece, 2nd and 3rd teamed up, and 4th and 5th played a piece together in preparation for the concert. They all learned multiple rhythm and right-arm-left-arm patterns. This really helped ingrain a solid internal sense of pulse in all of the students, in addition to improving their gross motor control as well. \r\n\r\nThe students performed each of their bucket band pieces at their end of year concert, in addition to singing and recorder. You'll see photos of them attached! Thank you again for adding such an enriching experience to our classroom this year.","fullyFundedDate":1741983435217,"projectUrl":"project/future-drummers-and-percussionists-incom/9150963/","projectTitle":"Future Drummers and Percussionists Incoming!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Haley","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9938924_orig.jpg?crop=5463,5464,x0,y528&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1741556999665","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9938924"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_126171","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":66,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":33,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":12,"percentWhite":14,"percentIndigenous":7,"percentLatinx":58,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 7","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":59.2,"schoolId":126171,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about ACES Technical Charter School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"ACES Technical Charter School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-mexico/new-mexico-department-of-education/aces-technical-charter-school/126171"}
