In our classes of 3- and 4-year-olds, every lesson is a joyful whirlwind of storytelling, dancing, singing, and playing instruments. While our classroom was already well-stocked with rhythm instruments like shakers and drums, we desperately needed easily transportable, accessible melodic instruments that tiny hands could successfully explore.\r\nThanks to your support, the addition of Kalimbas and Steel Tongue drums has completely transformed our music circle. Because these beautiful instruments are tuned to pleasing scales, there are no \"wrong notes\"—allowing our preschoolers to instantly create their own lovely melodies and explore how pitch works without frustration. These instruments are perfectly sized for our toddlers, lightweight enough to move around easily, and provide an incredibly soothing, tactile experience that keeps our little learners deeply engaged.\r\nWhile our stories and rhythm gear continue to build vital skills like steady beat and coordination, these new melodic instruments have unlocked a whole new layer of cognitive and creative development. By funding this project, you have planted the seeds for a lifelong love of music and given 3- and 4-year-olds the confidence to say, \"I can make my own music!\" Thank you for bringing this beautiful harmony into our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1787320620649,"projectUrl":"project/music-for-3-and-4-year-olds/10473661/","projectTitle":"Music for 3 and 4 Year Olds","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Grundy","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1166524_orig.jpg?crop=920,920,x0,y72&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1695839544324","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-grundy"},{"teacherId":1166524,"projectId":10419360,"letterContent":"Your generous support has ensured that the music never stops for our 550 students by keeping our classroom instruments fully functional and ready to play! In an elementary music program, daily hands-on practice means that even well-cared-for supplies eventually wear out, get damaged, or vanish. Previously, a single broken guitar string or missing amp cord would completely sideline an instrument, instantly leaving an entire class of 30 students without enough gear to participate. Because our students only get a precious 30 hours of music instruction in an entire school year, every single minute counts, and we cannot afford to lose class time to broken equipment.\r\nThanks to this funded project, we now have a reliable backup supply of guitar picks, replacement strings, and vital cables to make on-the-spot repairs. Instead of an instrument sitting unplayable for weeks while we scramble for a budget, repairs happen instantly. This has completely eliminated downtime in the classroom, ensuring that every time our 550 students walk through the door, there is a working instrument waiting in their hands. You didn't just replace parts; you protected our limited instructional time, kept our classroom equitable, and ensured that every child gets to experience the joy of making music every single day!","fullyFundedDate":1786541654314,"projectUrl":"project/refresh-the-music-room/10419360/","projectTitle":"Refresh the Music Room","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Grundy","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1166524_orig.jpg?crop=920,920,x0,y72&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1695839544324","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-grundy"},{"teacherId":1166524,"projectId":10415570,"letterContent":"Thanks to your incredible generosity, our 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade students were able to launch this years band program completely unburdened by the cost of essential music supplies! By providing non-reusable essentials like reeds, neck straps, mouthpiece pads, cleaning swabs, and cork grease, this project completely removed the financial barrier to entry, allowing dozens more children to join the ensemble who otherwise could not have afforded to participate.\r\nThese supplies did so much more than just keep our traditional instruments functioning; they taught our young musicians the vital responsibility of instrument care and maintenance from day one. Having their own dedicated gear gave our students a profound sense of ownership and pride over their musical journeys. With the financial burden lifted from their families, our beginners were able to focus entirely on the joy of making music together, successfully preparing for our three annual community performances and setting their sights on the District Honor Band festival.\r\nBecause of your support, our band room is a thriving, equitable space. You didn't just fund supplies—you directly fostered lifelong teamwork, unlocked creative potential, and brought the transformative joy of ensemble performance to an entire generation of young musicians!","fullyFundedDate":1786541717419,"projectUrl":"project/turn-squeak-and-squawk-into-music/10415570/","projectTitle":"Turn Squeak and Squawk into Music","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Grundy","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1166524_orig.jpg?crop=920,920,x0,y72&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1695839544324","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-grundy"},{"teacherId":1166524,"projectId":8596878,"letterContent":"Providing our 3rd and 4th-grade students with recorders, recorder mutes, and adaptive equipment completely transformed our music classroom into a barrier-free, inclusive space where every single child can succeed. For many of these 300 young learners, this project represents their very first opportunity to experience the magic of playing a real instrument, reading sheet music, and unlocking their creative potential.\r\nYour generosity provided the tools needed to ensure that not a single student is left watching from the sidelines. The adaptive instruments will allow students with physical disabilities or limited fine motor control tplay notes successfully alongside their peers. Meanwhile, the recorder mutes are a total game-changer for our classroom environment. They allow neurodivergent students or those with sensory sensitivities to practice comfortably without overwhelming noise, while giving hesitant beginners the confidence to try new notes at a lower volume during group rehearsals.\r\nLearning the recorder teaches our 3rd and 4th graders vital lessons in patience, hand-eye coordination, and goal-setting. More importantly, when students play together, they aren't just practicing notes—they are building an incredible sense of community, teamwork, and shared pride. By supporting this project, you didn't just funding equipment; you provided an entire generation of students at our school with the equal access, confidence, and musical joy they truly deserve!","fullyFundedDate":1724083705541,"projectUrl":"project/anyone-can-play-the-recorder/8596878/","projectTitle":"Anyone Can Play the Recorder!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Grundy","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1166524_orig.jpg?crop=920,920,x0,y72&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1695839544324","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-grundy"},{"teacherId":9222808,"projectId":9578809,"letterContent":"When my students walked into our classroom after the materials arrived, their faces absolutely lit up. Our once cluttered and sparse room has transformed into a warm, inviting bilingual haven—exactly what I had dreamed of creating for my 3- and 4-year-olds. The new book bins now neatly house our English and Spanish stories, making it easy for even our youngest learners to choose a favorite book independently. The cozy seating and soft stuffed animals have quickly become comfort spots where children can calm their bodies, listen to stories, or share quiet moments with friends. One of my favorite moments so far was watching a student curl up on the chick-shaped cushion with a bilingual book and proudly \"read\" it aloud to a classmate in both languages.\r\n\r\nThe photo printer has already helped us begin building a visual journey of our year together. We've started a \"Nuestros Momentos Especiales / Our Special Moments\" wall, where students eagerly search for their pictures and excitedly talk about what they were learning in each moment. These images have become powerful tools for language development and confidence—they spark conversations, support retelling skills, and help my students feel seen and valued in our classroom community.\r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity, our space is no longer just a classroom—it's a nurturing environment where little learners feel at home, supported, and inspired. Your donation has made it possible for my students to explore, communicate, and grow in both English and Spanish with joy and independence. The next steps for us include launching our first bilingual storytelling unit, where students will use our new materials to create and share their own mini books. None of this would have been possible without you. Thank you for believing in my students and helping us build a foundation for confident, joyful bilingual learners.","fullyFundedDate":1764778628797,"projectUrl":"project/help-us-bloom-a-cozy-start-for-little-h/9578809/","projectTitle":"Help Us Bloom: A Cozy Start for Little Hearts","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Caruana","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9222808"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_41563","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":552,"numTeachers":43,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":4,"percentBlack":6,"percentWhite":27,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":55,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":4,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"12.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":62.1,"schoolId":41563,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Sabin World School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Sabin World School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/colorado/denver-public-school-district-1/sabin-international-school/41563"}
