The students love playing with the instrument and they were excited to receive new instruments to play with. This donation has enhanced my music area so much that I needed a larger shelf for it and a separate space for the students to play with the instruments. We use these instruments a lot during music and movement, especially the shakey eggs. \r\n\r\nI even use the tone bar everyday to help my class get cleaned up and organized. It really had made a difference, because it saves me from having to use my voice more than I need to. The students hear the tone bar and know that it is time to clean up, calm down and get a book while they wait for their friends to finish cleanin up.\r\n\r\nI have not yet used the books provided, but my next steps are to use the books to share with the students more about musical instruments that we can play with and introduce them to instruments we may not be able to have or use in the classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1756223661956,"projectUrl":"project/come-help-us-fill-our-world-with-pure-im/9608196/","projectTitle":"Come Help Us Fill Our World With Pure Imagination!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Alice","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp662508_orig.jpg?crop=2448,2448,x0,y408&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1694571801427","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-chu"},{"teacherId":662508,"projectId":8173736,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your donation and patience as I found the best way to utilized these books with my highly active class. The students loved the books especially \"Brown Bear, Brown Bear\" and \" Clifford the Big Red Dog\". \r\n\r\nThe students will often ask for these books and are able to easily identify their favorites. They tell me which book they want to read and I help them set up the listening station so that they can listen to the stories with their friends. They had the option of sitting in the library on the couch or beanbag and with some help they have been able to know when to turn the pages and when the audio is still reading on that page. It has been so important for us, because it calms the students who would otherwise make choices that are unsafe in the classroom.\r\n\r\nI really do appreciate these books that can sometimes be out of my financial range and I know the students appreciate them as well.","fullyFundedDate":1708203306467,"projectUrl":"project/we-listen-we-listen-we-listen-to-books/8173736/","projectTitle":"We Listen, We Listen, We Listen to Books on CDs","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Alice","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp662508_orig.jpg?crop=2448,2448,x0,y408&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1694571801427","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-chu"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_113142","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":null,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":89,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":54,"percentWhite":30,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":7,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"US Census Data for the surrounding geographic area","gradesServed":"Not specified","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"Census ZCTA","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"UNCLASSIFIED","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":54.5,"schoolId":113142,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Family Head Start - Glenwood on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Family Head Start - Glenwood","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/office-of-head-start/glenwood/113142"}
