You have made a valuable contribution to my students' music education experience.\r\n\r\nThe new instruments were received in May and were used for the 8th grade graduation at the close of last school year. Our multi-site band is called R.E.P. which is an acronym for Robert E. Peary School. The band will continue to utilize the electric drum kit and the acoustic electric guitars for the 2025-2026 school year. We will kick off our weekly rehearsals this Fall in preparation for our Spring show and 8th grade graduation! \r\n\r\nThese instruments will be used for years to come and I have YOU to thank for that!","fullyFundedDate":1746638745164,"projectUrl":"project/every-beat-counts-bands-benefit-student/9066255/","projectTitle":"Every Beat Counts: Bands Benefit Students With Disabilities","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Animam","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9836399_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1732273982821","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-animam"},{"teacherId":9836399,"projectId":8943026,"letterContent":"Wow, I'm so grateful for your kindness and generosity towards my students and I!

They can play the notes by following the letter note name, solfège syllables, numbers, or colors (for those needing color stickers on the keys). \r\n\r\nThe new ukulele is a replacement for a ukulele that was damaged. In that class, my students are learning to play various popular songs on the ukulele.\r\n\r\nThe djembe drums have been great so far for my k-2 classes.

The sensory-rich materials we have received, along with the ample flexible seating options and accommodations, have provided a support environment for all students with unique sensory needs. They have been consistently enthusiastic about transitioning between activities, and extra engaged in more rigorous curricula tasks that allow for scaffolding of new skills. Students now have the power of choice in more areas of their day- they choose where to engage with therapeutic tasks and which creative mediums to use. The most popular items have been the foam sensory paint kit, kick bands on their chairs, and comfortable floor seating. Noise canceling headphones are often sought after during school assemblies, and particularly noisy lunch periods. There has been a new wave of calm, creativity, and centeredness throughout PS48, thanks to your contributions!","fullyFundedDate":1726690478861,"projectUrl":"project/sensory-regulation-throughout-the-day/8757083/","projectTitle":"Sensory Regulation Throughout the Day","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Shannon","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6907259"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_105641","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":null,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":89,"percentAsian":12,"percentBlack":60,"percentWhite":2,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":14,"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":74.1,"schoolId":105641,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about P75Q @ 48 on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"P75Q @ 48","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/district-75-city-wide-programs/ps-75-public-school-48/105641"}
