My students were shocked by the size of the boxes that came in. They were also eager to help me set up our new shelving. Having these in place is allowing us to be able to organize all of our ceramics, polymer clay, and air dry clay materials.\r\n\r\nThese shelves make the whole space we have for ceramics useable as there is no longer piles of boxes everywhere. This is increasing safety and organization which are both so important. Having the materials organized and easy to find also allows students to be able to get what they need when they need it. Items are able to be sorted into easy to access containers and organized by material.","fullyFundedDate":1776102674755,"projectUrl":"project/oh-theres-my-stuff/10080058/","projectTitle":"Oh!

Before receiving these, having enough for all our players was becoming a slight issue. As my classroom grows and has received an influx in cello interested students this school year. I wanted to provide them with the necessary item to allow them a safe option of transporting their instruments home and to school. \r\n\r\nEven more as we travel in the spring, these cases allow them to tuck them away in our travel buses safe and sound as we ride to our performances.

With there being so many of us, and their music tends to be two or more pages long, therefore it is a lot of paper that we use here and is important to us.\r\n\r\nOnce again, being supplied and provided this donation of copy paper really helps keep us going without many setbacks in the classroom.

As they advance through these early day of the year, having responsive and reliable instruments is vital to their success. Unfortunately many of our classroom violins, violas, and cellos are currently held back by old, worn-out, or completely missing strings, which severely dampens their sound and limits their ability to practice effectively.\r\n\r\nWhich is what makes it crucial to having strings available for these instruments as they need to be restringen for the new year and available for students use. Including the use of these mutes will allow students to practice well at home. No need to worry about making too much noise as these mutes help dampen the volume while still allowing them to practice and improve their skills.

He practices every day with it. He is always so eager and plays with joy. He's making great progress in his music journey. As for my guitar player, he is so happy about getting new strings. I watched him smile and tune out playing jazz songs just for fun. Finally, my alto players. They all enjoy their new reeds playing even during the weekends. I'm so proud of my students.

They especially love having more space to stretch their legs and move around during group discussions.\r\nThanks to this addition, our students now enjoy a dynamic learning environment. They love having the freedom to choose their preferred seating type.
