It is because of donors like you that my students have the gift of art and music. All of my students have a music recorder and are learning how to read music using their Disney Music book. My students who were selected to be a part of our school orchestra now have a second instrument to practice their musical skills both in school and at home. Even more important, is the gift of music that you help provide for the students who are not a part of the orchestra. These students are also able to learn to play an instrument and learn to read musical notes.\r\nIn addition, we have been able to complete multiple artist studies and artwork using lessons from the resources purchased from the TPT gift cards. The students enjoyed reading informational texts and writing biographies about the artists we have focused on. You have truly made a positive impact in bringing both visual and performance arts in our classroom. My little geniuses and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts.","fullyFundedDate":1756496823383,"projectUrl":"project/help-bring-disney-tunes-and-art-in-our-c/9612802/","projectTitle":"Help Bring Disney Tunes and Art in Our Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Stewart","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp1224304_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1470509961427","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/emma-delmarstewart"},{"teacherId":1301002,"projectId":5635399,"letterContent":"I am deeply grateful for your generous donation of art supplies to our 6th-grade class.

The students manipulated the beads to help them turn an abstract concept into something concrete. The dry erase boards came in very handy as a tool for them to show their work and enabled me to do a quick evaluation to see who needed additional help.
