We are beginning to incorporate and use the wonderful music books and instruments into our learning. \r\nThe students were so excited to see the large selection of rhythm instruments and could hardly wait to get their hands on them! They are excited to learn more about some different countries and cultures in the world through our reading and music. We've only just begun starting to hear some of the music from around the world. \r\nYour donation is helping, and will continue to help, my students enjoy their learning this year. They get overjoyed each time we are able to get out the instruments and learn more about another part of the world. \r\nNot only has this project been able to add to their reading, but it has built in some math skills as well by allowing the students to learn about beats and the different counts for all of the musical notes. And as we know from studies, music opens the mind to learning in many ways. We cannot thank you enough for donating to make our classroom a more joyous place for our learning!","fullyFundedDate":1752162796909,"projectUrl":"project/read-with-music/9450027/","projectTitle":"Read with Music","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Rohr","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8662110_orig.jpg?crop=959,959,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1720566115143","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8662110"},{"teacherId":5739555,"projectId":7840973,"letterContent":"Students will understand the concept of earning tickets as a reward for participation and good behavior, and how to use those tickets to purchase items from the treasure box.\r\n\r\nI hope this message finds you well! I wanted to take a moment to share some exciting insights about our ticket reward system that we've implemented in the classroom this year.\r\n\r\nThe ticket reward system is designed not only to motivate students to participate and exhibit positive behavior but also to provide them with a practical lesson on earning and spending. By earning tickets through their efforts and good behavior, students learn the value of hard work and the joy of earning rewards.\r\n\r\nWhat's particularly engaging is how students can choose how to spend their tickets, whether it's for fun classroom privileges, small prizes, or special activities. This aspect teaches them decision-making skills and the importance of budgeting their 'earnings' in a fun and interactive way.\r\n\r\nAs we continue to use this system, we are open to adjusting it based on student feedback and engagement levels. It's important to us that the rewards resonate with the students and keep them excited about participating in class.\r\n\r\nWe appreciate your support in reinforcing these lessons at home. Encouraging discussions about the rewards and the choices they make can help solidify these important life skills!\r\n\r\nThank you for being such an integral part of our learning community. If you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to reach out.\r\n\r\nConclusion:\r\n\r\nThe ticket reward system not only motivates students to participate and behave well but also teaches them about earning and spending in a fun, engaging way. This reward can be repeated and adjusted based on student feedback and engagement levels.","fullyFundedDate":1694971709211,"projectUrl":"project/learning-together-to-earn-amazing-incent/7840973/","projectTitle":"Learning Together to Earn Amazing Incentives","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Ramos","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5739555_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1535429742821","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5739555"},{"teacherId":8663790,"projectId":9126447,"letterContent":"I would just want to start off by saying thank you so much for helping my classroom with all the materials I have received.
