It has been a joy to watch the little hands of my students manipulate the hand drums and tambourines! Young children learn best through exploration and play-based experiences, so to see them discover the sounds they create by tapping, rubbing, patting, or shaking the instruments is beautiful! We used the instruments as \"steering wheels\" for a bus and tractor song where they could \"drive\" and then tap or shake. I wish you could hear the giggles! \r\n\r\nThe hang drums and xylophones bring gentle melodious sounds to our music making! Fine motor control and eye-hand coordination can be challenging for many students at this age, so manipulating these little mallets provide valuable practice and strength building in these developmental areas! \r\n\r\nI can't wait to share photos with you soon!","fullyFundedDate":1752586509327,"projectUrl":"project/rhythms-in-reach-percussion-instrument/9271782/","projectTitle":"Rhythms in Reach: Percussion Instruments for Early Learners","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Monica Levin","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3046508_orig.jpg?crop=1028,1028,x48,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1673366499134","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/musicmonica"},{"teacherId":9604123,"projectId":9209681,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generosity.

The Playfoam quickly became a class favorite—students loved squishing, shaping, and stretching it during a sensory activity that encouraged both focus and creativity. For many of my students, it was a calming yet exciting way to experiment with texture while still creating something they could proudly share.\r\nPaper plates have become our go-to \"canvases,\" transforming into colorful masks, sunbursts, and even abstract art pieces. Students were amazed to see that something so simple could turn into a work of art. Meanwhile, the paint sticks have allowed them to create bold, vibrant pieces without the mess of traditional paints. Their faces lit up when they realized how smoothly the colors glided on and how bright their artwork looked.

These supplies allow my students to experience art in ways that spark their imagination and encourage them to think critically and creatively. The difference your donation has made is truly incredible. It's not just about having the materials they need; it's about empowering them to express themselves fully. With the new supplies, my students are now able to create their own unique masterpieces, participate in collaborative projects, and engage in lessons that teach them about color, texture, composition, and more.

This has been a game-changer and have used it every single day since receiving it. There have been so many moments where it helped with not just the cleanliness of my classroom, but also the safety. For instance, I have many instruments that have tiny little metal beads in them like wave drums or egg shakers and every once in awhile one breaks. I used to have to frantically try to pick them all up before a child found one but now I can quickly vacuum them up before a student tries to eat them! We had a particularly cold winter and students were tracking in salt on their shoes--which then other students were trying to eat!
