Your generosity has brought an exciting new opportunity for my students to explore sound, music, creativity, and collaboration in our STEM learning environment. When students first saw the xylophone, they were immediately excited to try it out. What started as curiosity quickly turned into students experimenting with different notes, rhythms, and sounds while encouraging one another and taking turns.\r\n\r\nThis new resource gives my students a hands-on way to connect creativity with STEM concepts. We are using the xylophone to explore patterns, vibrations, pitch, rhythm, and how sound is produced. Students are learning that STEM isn't always about sitting at a desk or using a computer—it can be about observing, experimenting, creating, and working together. I especially love seeing students who may not always be eager to participate in traditional activities become excited to experiment and share their ideas.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in our students and helping us create a learning environment where they can explore, create, and discover in unexpected ways. Your support has added another wonderful opportunity for our students to learn through play and hands-on experiences. We can't wait to see where their creativity takes us next!","fullyFundedDate":1779015064242,"projectUrl":"project/intro-to-music-for-rural-alabama-student/10047741/","projectTitle":"Intro to Music for Rural Alabama Students","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Wright","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp112556_orig.png?crop=311,311,x39,y46&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1760703691634","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrskarenwright"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_15623","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":535,"numTeachers":27,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":3,"percentWhite":53,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":39,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":2,"gradesServed":"K - 2","studentTeacherRatio":"19.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":65.8,"schoolId":15623,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Robert D Sloman Primary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Robert D Sloman Primary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/alabama/marshall-county-school-district/robert-d-sloman-primary-school/15623"}
