These colorful, musical tools have brought learning to life and created countless moments of excitement, creativity, and collaboration.\r\n\r\nThrough Boomwhackers, our students have discovered that music connects beautifully with math and language arts. When exploring poetry, they used rhythm and beat patterns to feel the pulse of the words and understand how syllables, rhyme, and flow work together to create tone and emotion. During math lessons, the Boomwhackers helped us make fractions fun—students learned to recognize fractional values in musical notes, compare lengths, and see how parts combine to make a whole in both math and music.\r\n\r\nBeyond academics, these instruments have inspired teamwork, focus, and joy. The sound of our students creating rhythm together reminds us how engaging hands-on learning can be.\r\n\r\nThank you again for helping us turn our classroom into a place where learning sounds as good as it feels!","fullyFundedDate":1752586366529,"projectUrl":"project/movin-and-grovin-our-way-into-fractional/9390047/","projectTitle":"Movin and Grovin Our Way Into Fractional Understanding With Boomwhackers!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Nelson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10047656_orig.jpg?crop=1440,1440,x0,y19&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1748723304599","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/shanika-nelson"},{"teacherId":10047656,"projectId":9389145,"letterContent":"Novels have truly transformed our fourth-grade classroom into a community of thinkers, questioners, and storytellers. Each book we read together opens the door to new worlds, challenges us to see different perspectives, and connects directly to the skills we practice every day in reading and writing.\r\nThrough our novel studies, students are not only improving comprehension but also learning to think critically about why authors make certain choices — the themes they explore, the conflicts they create, and the messages they leave behind. As we read, we analyze characters' motivations, connect events to real-life experiences, and discuss how each story's structure impacts our understanding.\r\nBeyond academics, novels have sparked empathy and collaboration. During discussions, students listen to each other's viewpoints, respectfully agree or disagree, and support their ideas with evidence from the text. These shared experiences build a classroom culture where every voice matters and every interpretation is valued.\r\nNovel studies also help students grow as writers. By examining strong examples of narrative technique — vivid descriptions, dialogue, and pacing — they begin to apply these strategies in their own stories. In turn, reading and writing feed each other, deepening both understanding and creativity.\r\nMost importantly, novels make reading meaningful. Whether we are laughing, predicting, or reflecting, students see reading as more than an assignment — it becomes an adventure. The joy of turning the page is matched only by the pride they feel when they realize, \"I understand this on my own.\"\r\nThank you for supporting our readers as they continue to explore, imagine, and grow through the power of great books.","fullyFundedDate":1749734527711,"projectUrl":"project/oh-the-places-youll-go-with-novels/9389145/","projectTitle":"Oh, the Places You'll Go With Novels","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Nelson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10047656_orig.jpg?crop=1440,1440,x0,y19&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1748723304599","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/shanika-nelson"},{"teacherId":10047656,"projectId":9389094,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generosity!
