Learning to play the recorder is a highlight of music education. It helps students learn to read the notes and develop dexterity in their muscle movements. I believe it gives students confidence as well! \r\n Over the weekend I saw a former student from enough years ago that she was there with her child, and she said she still has her recorder and can still play tunes she learned at school. I share this because I feel it's a life long skill and for many students it gives them the fundamentals they need as they enter band and orchestra in Middle school. \r\n Thank you so much for supporting our classroom!","fullyFundedDate":1778899937526,"projectUrl":"project/playing-melodies-eloquently/10224126/","projectTitle":"Playing Melodies Eloquently","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Halloran","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3116121_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1453472106274","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3116121"},{"teacherId":3116121,"projectId":9307034,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for these very needed instruments in our music room!

Many of our students have limited access to engaging nonfiction materials at home, and these graphic-novel–style books have opened the door to a new level of excitement about reading. Students who are often reluctant to pick up traditional history texts are eagerly reaching for these books because the comic format feels accessible, visually engaging, and fun.\r\n\r\nThe wide range of historical topics—such as the World Wars, the Civil Rights Movement, and other major events—has sparked countless conversations and questions. I see students making connections between the past and the world around them, and they're developing a deeper interest in learning about real people and real events. These books also support our school's reading goals by motivating students to read more and build background knowledge that strengthens comprehension across all subjects.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, I've watched students who rarely show enthusiasm for nonfiction become completely absorbed in these stories. History Comics have helped them see that history is not just facts and dates—it's powerful, human, and worth exploring. This resource is helping grow lifelong readers and curious learners, and it has truly enriched our library program.","fullyFundedDate":1773835424495,"projectUrl":"project/history-comics-engaged-readers/10135472/","projectTitle":"History + Comics = Engaged Readers!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Walton","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4102831_orig.jpg?crop=1344,1344,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1727658004181","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/thatnewlibrarylady"},{"teacherId":4102831,"projectId":10078044,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our DonorsChoose project and helping bring new nonfiction books to our school library!
