We play them with rhythm play-along activities. There are many wonderful videos that have songs and rhythm notation to help us practice rhythms. We also use them to learn forms. The images I uploaded previously were from a dance we did to a march. We marched and played the drum for a section, hid behind the drums for a section, and danced with them as hats for a section. They had a blast.\r\nThe scarves have really given us more ways to express the music. We move musically as we copy the teacher and take turns being the leader. We also musically move freely to music to explore what sounds lead us to feel different ways.\r\nThe triangles and crow sounders have been great too! Our options to play keep getting better thanks to your generous support. Music is a joyful class because of you.","fullyFundedDate":1758810461248,"projectUrl":"project/filling-the-gaps/9731554/","projectTitle":"Filling the Gaps","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Ronsberg","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7563060_orig.jpg?crop=1175,1175,x104,y91&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1658009978245","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7563060"},{"teacherId":7563060,"projectId":9537220,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for helping us get stools for our classroom. Our fast pace classes have us moving around, playing games, singing, breaking into small groups, playing a variety of instruments, and more. The flexibility of having light durable stools when we need them is game changing especially for my older students. \r\nThe fifth graders were thrilled to have stools and not have to always sit on the floor. The stools were the perfect height for us while we played Tubanos this week. We can quickly set up in any formation, no mater what activity we're doing in the moment.

Having fun and engaging options at recess helps them recharge, build teamwork, and return to the classroom ready to focus and learn.\r\n\r\nThank you for making it possible for my students to have the tools they need for both play and growth.

These adjustable tables are the center of our learning space. \r\n\r\nWhen the students walked in and saw the tables for the first time, their eyes lit up and they ran to choose a petal to sit at. It was evident almost immediately that the shape of the tables was going to allow collaboration, peer interaction, and material sharing. They've made such a difference in their learning and it is so nice to see the students sitting at tables that actually fit them. \r\n\r\nWe're excited to use the tables not only during whole group learning activities but at center time as well. Each table contains differentiated learning opportunities and provides a wonderful work surface. I love seeing the center partners working hard, being respectful to each other, and practicing what they know.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has made a lasting impact on our students' learning, confidence, and joy.

You should've seen the look on their faces as each class walked into my room the day I received them. Each class ambushed me with giddy questions and comments. \"Where did those come from?!\" \"When do we get to play them?\" \"There's enough for all of us!\" It was so fun to watch them light up as we played.\r\nWe even got them in time for some classes to feature them in our Spring program. It was great to be able to let more students play at the same time. In first grade this year, the students all got to take turns keeping the beat on two notes while we sang. The students that were the most steady got to perform for the concert and I because we had more instruments, I was able to let many kids play. Fifth grade had a song that was much more complicated with more than three separate parts being played at the same time. They knew their parts well, but it was going to be challenging with just the five instruments we had. I'm so glad we were able to have the new ones in time. They were clearly proud of their accomplishments when it all came together.
