The moment they saw the new art supplies and cultural craft materials, their excitement filled the room—students immediately began imagining the artifacts they could create to represent the traditions we are studying.\r\n\r\nWe recently completed a project on Hispanic culture where students used the new materials to design their own mini ofrendas and papel picado. One student proudly said, \"I've seen these before, but I never got to make one!\" Their creations became not only beautiful displays but powerful tools for understanding symbolism, tradition, and perspective. These resources have transformed our lessons from simple discussions into immersive experiences where students express their learning visually, deepen cultural appreciation, and build creativity and global-mindedness.\r\n\r\nThank you for making this possible and for helping our students explore the world with their hearts and hands.","fullyFundedDate":1755710772616,"projectUrl":"project/world-culture-artifacts/9595333/","projectTitle":"World Culture Artifacts","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Bohne","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7997220_orig.jpg?crop=1024,1024,x0,y58&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1690569293815","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7997220"},{"teacherId":10166852,"projectId":9570827,"letterContent":"The students love the blocks you donated to our class! \r\n\r\nThe blocks supported our community building unit by teaching the concept of sharing, communicating, and collaborating. \r\n\r\nWe used them to build a city that included a hospital, a school, an aquarium, a police station, houses, and a museum.

Not only are the instruments accessible for students, but they are protected from accidental damage. In addition, transitions from singing and note reading to playing are fluid, streamlined, and efficient.\r\nStudents walk quickly to an available instrument and begin silently practicing with fingers or mallet tips/ends. When students silently trade one another from non-pitched percussion instruments to pitched instruments, the transition is seamless due to the accessibility of each instrument. Students Kindergarten to 6th grade enjoy playing the instruments and experience success in simple to complex arrangements, such as a simple bordun accompaniment to a song or a complex, 6-part piece (currently \"Carol of the Bells\"), and through the creative process of improvisation, composing music in the moment.\r\nInstruments, always taught to treat with respect, are not on the floor, and safe from damage as students navigate to their instrument. I have even noticed that Kindergarten students, always curious about the sound, wait until they are invited to play.\r\nWe are playing and creating more, more efficiently, now that instruments are on rolling carts.
