My students absolutely loved them. Since we've gotten the instruments, the students want to use them all the time. They want to use them with our opening calendar routines as well as phonics and even math time. The instruments have made learning more enjoyable and noisy at the same time. \r\n\r\nI also plan to use the instruments with our upcoming Xmas caroling event. Every year I take my students caroling around the school visiting other classrooms and singing some classic Christmas favorites. The students really enjoy this and it brings music to the classrooms.","fullyFundedDate":1755698455478,"projectUrl":"project/instruments-rock/9559683/","projectTitle":"Instruments Rock!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Jenkins","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5701513_orig.jpg?crop=792,792,x288,y1051&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1720563162092","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5701513"},{"teacherId":5701513,"projectId":9275061,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for the dry erase markers.

In kindergarten we do writing everyday. In order to not waste paper we do our writing using white boards and dry erase markers. It is very important for my students to express themselves through illustrations and drawings. For my students, writing is not just about words but also telling a story through their pictures. Kindergarteners love using the different colors of dry-erase markers to enhance their stories.\r\nMy kindergarteners simply went bananas as I opened the package of the colorful dry-erase markers. They were so excited to use them. I had to hide them because they kept opening my cupboards searching for the new markers. \r\nWe will be better writers and illustrators because of the colorful dry-erase markers.","fullyFundedDate":1746627702447,"projectUrl":"project/creative-learning/9155945/","projectTitle":"Creative Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Jenkins","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5701513_orig.jpg?crop=792,792,x288,y1051&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1720563162092","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5701513"},{"teacherId":5701513,"projectId":8489089,"letterContent":"These manipulatives have been incredible!
