They also really enjoyed creating the Thank You message in the attached photos.\r\nIn our STEM class, students are encouraged to think outside the box and use their creativity as much as possible, which is why they were so excited to receive your generous donation.\r\nThe tools you have provided them will be used to bring innumerable creative ideas to life!\r\nThank you!","fullyFundedDate":1748532566732,"projectUrl":"project/lets-go-build/9316236/","projectTitle":"Let's Go Build!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Ferre","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7490426_orig.jpg?crop=1582,1582,x378,y910&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1669858965451","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7490426"},{"teacherId":589575,"projectId":9082211,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for helping to grow an updated and interesting library and provide items for our students to feel at home at school. Having a loving, literacy rich environment gives students the sense of exploration and wonder. Thank you for helping to provide this not only in my school, but in my classroom. \r\n\r\nThe graphic novels I was able to purchase are the entry point for many students to identify themselves as readers and storytellers. The tools and blankets I was able to purchase help to give students a sense of home in the classroom. We do emphasize academics, but also work in life long learning and life skills. \r\n\r\nThank you for providing this experience for students.","fullyFundedDate":1739648957054,"projectUrl":"project/books-for-our-school/9082211/","projectTitle":"Books for Our School!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Stephanie","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp589575_orig.jpg?crop=908,908,x0,y208&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1566498552434","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/589575"},{"teacherId":6023884,"projectId":9026085,"letterContent":"Thank you for the contributions to my classroom. We just finished our state and district testing and the Goldfish were a hit on testing days. The acrylic markers will allow my students to make transparent name/identity plates next year as one of our beginning of the year activities. \r\n\r\nIn addition, the white boards create space for engaging dry erase activities and for easy peer review of claim statements and evidence.

They have performed all around the district, competed in competitions, auditioned for various high school ensembles, and grown a strong love of music.\r\n\r\nThe materials I received from \"Jazz and Improvisation\" have gone to immediate use, educating my top ensemble about the rich history of the genre. I am excited to announce that we will be premiering our first ever jazz performance at our final concert this year. The students have responded so well to this music and I have learned so much about their skill level, especially those who play in our rhythm section.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your contributions to the music program at my school. We might have started with very little but from so much compassion we have seen as much growth but also, sustainability.

They are just a few of the student projects that now have a safe storage space thanks to your generosity!\r\n\r\nWhy is it important for us to store each project in its own cubby? First, it plays a key role in maintaining an orderly classroom, which in turn nurtures a respect for the learning environment.

My students might be new to their instruments but they are pros when it comes to conserving their reeds and strings due to shortages in supply. Thanks to this wonderful campaign, my students feel confident to make mistakes and take more musical risks than ever before! \r\n\r\nTo teach my students what it takes to maintain a musicians budget, they have learned how to get the most out of their materials by tracking each date they receive a new reed, and making efforts to properly handle it when putting their instrument together and away each day. Students are expected to extend the life of their reeds until a specific calendar date to better prepare for when they become responsible for purchasing those items. \r\n\r\nBefore this campaign started, my students new that a broken string or reed could mean that they could not perform at their best for days or even weeks until a new one was available. This donation has also given them reassurance that they can still make music.","fullyFundedDate":1728949188327,"projectUrl":"project/managing-music-and-money/8871759/","projectTitle":"Managing Music and Money!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Ramirez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8937344_orig.jpg?crop=2240,2240,x293,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1674513963455","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mr-daniel-ramirez"},{"teacherId":8937344,"projectId":8678424,"letterContent":"At the beginning of the school year, I posted a project that I thought included the most important equipment my students could use to better grow and musicians and and as an ensemble. Without any expectation that it would get funded, I was full of joy and gratefulness when I was informed that this project was funded in full so quickly! This donation has provided my students with many opportunities to reflect on their learning, become better listeners of music, and learn how to operate a professional camera.\r\n\r\nThis project is exciting for my students because although it is great to go back and reflect on their performances, this donation also allows them to keep a record of their experience in my class for many years to come. The addition of a bluetooth speaker has provided my students clarity of sound, and the ability to utilize a metronome in my classroom.
