Students got to make up their own drum patterns at different times throughout the story. It has been very helpful to have \"Good Notes\" with treasure box / fidget prizes as a reward for a super star student each class time. This helps students stay motivated and focused, and reminds me to find the positives and give attention to the good behavior.","fullyFundedDate":1758835979633,"projectUrl":"project/music-matters-elementary-essentials/9715003/","projectTitle":"Music Matters: Elementary Essentials","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Serbantez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2172890_orig.jpg?crop=1545,1545,x1142,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1757890886155","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/baxtermusicroom"},{"teacherId":2172890,"projectId":9745518,"letterContent":"Thank you again for supporting my music room!

The calm spot in the classroom has the fidgets and the emotional support animals. Students have been really motivated to finish all their work so that they have the ability to sit in the class calm spot and enjoy the peace and fidgets in that location.
