We introduced them during our rehearsal for the \"Penguin Polka,\" and the room lit up with energy. The hats helped students get into character right away, and they quickly understood how costumes can enhance a performance. One memorable moment was watching the entire grade practice their first run-through wearing the hats—students were suddenly more engaged, coordinated, and eager to participate.\r\n\r\nWe are using these hats throughout our rehearsals to prepare for the upcoming holiday show. Having a matching costume piece for every student has allowed us to practice transitions, spacing, and choreography more effectively. The hats also help students take ownership of the performance because they feel part of a unified group.\r\n\r\nThe next step is putting all parts of the performance together: refining the dance, practicing stage presence, and preparing for our final show for families. Thanks to your support, students have what they need to present a polished, confident, and joyful performance.","fullyFundedDate":1761880155910,"projectUrl":"project/march-of-the-penguins-hats-for-our-holi/9848771/","projectTitle":"March of the Penguins: Hats for Our Holiday Performance!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Bojanic","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10288135_orig.png?crop=302,302,x0,y3&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1758862112332","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrsbojanic9"},{"teacherId":10288135,"projectId":9832309,"letterContent":"When the new art supplies and organizers arrived, my students immediately started using them in a variety of projects throughout the year.

Students can quickly locate what they need and return items to the right place, which has reduced transition time and kept materials in good condition. This system has helped us maintain a cleaner, more efficient workspace all year long.\r\n\r\nThese resources will continue to support every major project we take on, from introductory exercises to end-of-year showcases.
