They are perfect for students of all musical backgrounds and levels of understanding. With their ability to produce clear, resonant tones, Boomwhackers help students develop a strong sense of rhythm, pitch, and dynamics while actively participating in musical activities.\r\n\r\nThese instruments will enable our students to put the beat on, emphasizing kinetic movement and physical involvement in their learning process. This hands-on approach fosters not only musical growth but also teamwork, confidence, and creativity. The versatility of Boomwhackers makes them an engaging tool for classroom music lessons, performances, and collaborative projects.\r\n\r\nYour support has made this possible, and I grateful for your commitment to enriching my students' educational experiences. With these instruments, we are nurturing a love for music and empowering students to explore their musical talents in a fun and accessible way.\r\n\r\nThank you for making a difference in the lives of our students.","fullyFundedDate":1746722914407,"projectUrl":"project/boomwhackers-fun-rhythmic-kinetic-co/9107916/","projectTitle":"BOOMWHACKERS!

My kids are so happy to have options for an afternoon snack.\r\n\r\nOur day is long and the kids do best when they are not hungry. Some days we just need some crackers with cheese or peanut butter just to get through the afternoon. The pop tarts ( a treat) were a big hit! The Cookies and Cream went fast! \r\n\r\nThe water bottles are in use every minute of everyday! My kids love the colors of the lids!

This year I moved campuses. The time and financial cost to such a move are impactful. I was so thankful to get beginning of the year supplies into the hands of my students.\r\n\r\nMy students enjoyed back to school night 'shopping' from the new supplies. They each filled their new organizers with the needed supplies to get off to an engaging start. Our class now has supplies to help us through the academic year. It is a joy to see students with the new supplies and organization.\r\n\r\nMy students come from a very rural part of the northern coast of California and many fall below the hardship line. Parents are supportive with time but monetary donations can be slim. Thank you for supporting education that is meaningful and manageable.","fullyFundedDate":1746475949963,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-basics/9179259/","projectTitle":"Classroom Basics","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Coley","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4756504_orig.jpg?crop=1899,1899,x0,y270&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1742243019155","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4756504"},{"teacherId":2525243,"projectId":8789542,"letterContent":"I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for your incredible support in funding the ukulele cart for our music program. Thanks to your generosity, what was once a practical need has become a beautiful, functional centerpiece in our classroom.\r\n\r\nFirst and foremost, the cart is absolutely gorgeous. It not only showcases the ukuleles in a visually appealing way, but also gives the instruments the respect they deserve. Instead of being stored in cases or boxes on the floor, the ukuleles now stand proudly on display. This makes a tremendous difference for students—it helps them see the instruments not just as tools, but as something special and beautiful to be cared for and appreciated.\r\n\r\nBeyond aesthetics, the cart has been a game-changer in terms of efficiency and organization. Students can now quickly and easily take and return their ukuleles without the extra steps (and time) of removing and replacing cases or figuring out where to store them. This streamlined process has allowed us to make the most of our class time and has created a smoother, more focused learning environment.\r\n\r\nThe cart has improved classroom flow, encouraged responsibility, and made a positive impact on how students engage with their instruments. It may seem like a simple addition, but it's had a profound effect on our program.\r\n\r\nThank you again for believing in our students and supporting our musical journey. Your contribution has made a lasting difference.","fullyFundedDate":1734557069842,"projectUrl":"project/ukulele-storage-cart/8789542/","projectTitle":"Ukulele Storage Cart!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Anna Pinsky","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2525243_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y386&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1693347992874","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2525243"},{"teacherId":2425074,"projectId":8976578,"letterContent":"Thank you so very much for the generous support of my class.
