Most of my students had never picked up a hand chime and they were simply overjoyed! Watching students get to do something like that for the first time is such a gift!\r\n\r\nAs a music educator, I absolutely love having an hands-on instrument that can be used to teach most every musical concept. With the hand chimes, students can fully engage with learning basic concepts of music theory while having fun at the same time. \r\n\r\nAgain, thank you so much for your support of the music department at Palestine-Wheatley Elementary School! Your gift will allow my students to explore musical concepts and skills in a fun and engaging way for years to come!","fullyFundedDate":1771030425171,"projectUrl":"project/bring-on-the-joy-part-2/9935180/","projectTitle":"Bring on the Joy Part 2!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Cantrell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/teresa-cantrell"},{"teacherId":503884,"projectId":9935049,"letterContent":"Words can never express our gratitude at Palestine-Wheatley Elementary School for your generous donations that led to the purchase of hand chimes for our students to use in music class.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the hand chimes, they were awestruck!

It is so rewarding to see the smiles on their faces when we use them.\r\n\r\nAs a music educator, I absolutely love having an instrument that can be versatile enough to teach most every musical concept I teach from note values to dynamics to everything in between and beyond. The hand chimes bring a fun and interactive element to learning the basics of music theory and is so much better than worksheets! \r\n\r\nAgain, thank you so much for your generosity!

Their excitement was instant and contagious—hands shot up with questions, ideas, and pure joy. For many of my students, these materials open doors to creative experiences they don't often have access to outside of school, and knowing that someone believes in their creativity means more than you can imagine.\r\n\r\nThese supplies will make a tremendous impact not only as we finish out this school year, but well into next year as hundreds of young artists come through our classroom. With fresh materials, students can explore new techniques, build confidence, and create artwork they feel proud of. Your generosity ensures that every child—regardless of background—has the tools they need to express themselves, learn through hands-on experiences, and discover the joy of making art.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in our students and for helping keep creativity alive in our school community. Your support truly makes a lasting difference.","fullyFundedDate":1778009172521,"projectUrl":"project/building-skills-through-art-paints-pas/10199683/","projectTitle":"Building Skills Through Art: Paints, Pastels, and Possibilities","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Ponder","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3223241_orig.jpg?crop=2980,2980,x0,y1033&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1752850964962","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/kimberly-ponder"},{"teacherId":3223241,"projectId":10134126,"letterContent":"The addition of the ChompSaw has made an immediate and meaningful difference in our K–6 art classroom. With over 400 students creating, building, and exploring every week, preparing cardboard used to take hours of manual cutting and often limited the scale of what students could design. Now, the ChompSaw allows me to safely and efficiently cut sturdy cardboard pieces that are perfectly sized for each project. This has opened the door to larger, more ambitious, and more structurally sound creations that simply weren't possible before.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment students saw the ChompSaw in our classroom, their excitement was contagious. Many of them had never seen a power tool up close—much less one designed for kids to safely use as part of their creative process. They were amazed that a \"real tool\" could be part of their art experience, and it immediately sparked conversations about engineering, design, and how artists use tools to bring ideas to life. Their sense of empowerment was incredible. \r\n\r\nMost importantly, this tool has given my students the chance to dream bigger. They can't wait to create more projects using our new \"toy.\" Your generosity didn't just fund a tool—you expanded what is possible for hundreds of young artists each and every year.","fullyFundedDate":1773082331348,"projectUrl":"project/cutting-through-barriers-to-creativity/10134126/","projectTitle":"Cutting Through Barriers to Creativity","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Ponder","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3223241_orig.jpg?crop=2980,2980,x0,y1033&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1752850964962","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/kimberly-ponder"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_55370","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":403,"numTeachers":27,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":8,"percentWhite":85,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":3,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":1,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"14.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":65.5,"schoolId":55370,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Palestine Wheatley Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Palestine Wheatley Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/arkansas/palestine-wheatley-school-district/palestine-wheatley-elementary-school/55370"}
