My music program has grown tremendously over the years because of outside support like Donors Choose. \r\n\r\nI acquired the class set of ukuleles about seven years ago from a Kala giveaway. It would have taken about seven years of classroom funds to purchase these instruments. The ukuleles are well loved and played almost daily by my older students. The strings were getting very worn.\r\n\r\nI have begun the tedious process of restringing and successfully completed seven, although they still need frequent tuning as the strings are stretching. Hopefully I will have them all swapped and the strings will settled in a couple months. \r\n\r\nThanks, again, for supporting music education!","fullyFundedDate":1760693646666,"projectUrl":"project/restring-and-rock-on/9716220/","projectTitle":"Restring and Rock On!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Dennis","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp321467_272x272.png?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1519700410488","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/rebecca-dennis"},{"teacherId":321467,"projectId":9705968,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our art classroom.

I feel like this device came from the futuristic world of the Jetsons. \r\n\r\nThe students are excited to use the new multicultural color pencils. They will be able to draw self-portraits with more confidence now that they have more choices to match their unique skin tones.\r\n\r\nCreative expression is an important component of a well-rounded education.

It made my students feel like rock stars.\r\nThis year, my 4th and 5th graders are excited to get more opportunities to play the drum set. I'm currently looking for more training opportunities to incorporate the drum skills in a large group setting. I hope to plan a drumming unit so everyone has more time to develp their coordination for drumming. Drumming can improve strength and coordination as well as reduce stress. I am anxious to see the other benefits of adding drumming to my curriculum.
