The students and I are excited to be able to use these dry erase pockets, markers, and erasers to help make our musical journey together more enriching. Because I am teaching at two different schools as well as multiple different grade levels, it can sometimes be a challenge to keep track of all of the different activities we need to do. These dry erase pockets will help us be more efficient, especially when working with multiple classes of students throughout the day.\r\n\r\nThe students were very curious when we first received the materials. Before this project, we didn't get to do a lot of individual writing during classes. Now, students are creating their own compositions, learning to not just read music, but also write it. We will also be using these in the older grades to do practice assessments in preparation for our actual end of year assessments.

Technology use is critical to student learning in our classrooms today. \r\n\r\nIn the second grade, many students are still having the computer read to them, therefore, without the headphones, it can get quite loud, when even just a few computers have their speakers on. This interrupts others as they work, as the loud noises can become distracting, prohibiting them to fully engage in concentrating on the lessons they are working on. These new headphones have allowed the students to work without distraction. Thank you so much!

The new printer and ink are helping us to make music and are helping me spend more time with the students and less time prepping at the copy machine. \r\n\r\nMost of my classes at the two school sites I teach at are 30 minutes long, and some of the younger grades are only 20 minutes. Sometimes I get a 5 minute passing period between classes, but most of the time one class is entering as the next is leaving. Having a printer available in the classroom allows us to make last minute adjustments to our class or print something the students forgot to bring with them. \r\n\r\nIt has also allowed me to create a lot of new materials to use with the students, including extra practice books for our band and string students. The students were very excited to receive these personalized books full of songs they learned when they were younger that they can now learn to play on their instruments. Some of the older instrumental students have even been searching for music online and having me print out more difficult songs for them to try. Without this technology, we wouldn't be able to do so.","fullyFundedDate":1760693648206,"projectUrl":"project/prepared-to-print/9822564/","projectTitle":"Prepared to Print!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Dye","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp1545297_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1533792889661","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/allisondye"},{"teacherId":7776382,"projectId":9620765,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our project.
