Students will be able to dance with these beautiful skirts for their school Hispanic Club and learn about another culture. The students are excited to give back to their school community by learning how to dance traditional Ballet Folklorico Mexican songs! Our school is in great need of these skirts to learn how to practice performing in front of an audience and memorization skills. Dancing also offers physical education as it is a sport that engages students in so many different aspects.","fullyFundedDate":1746787235845,"projectUrl":"project/beautiful-performing-arts-skirts-to-lear/9324597/","projectTitle":"Beautiful Performing Arts Skirts to Learn to Dance!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Menchaca","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9644548_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1746507974208","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9644548"},{"teacherId":9644548,"projectId":9260100,"letterContent":"I appreciate your beautiful donation to my classroom with these wonderful gift of color coded tables for my classroom.

They will remind me about our butterflies. \r\n\r\nWe had a great time designing our own butterfly art to make our classroom beautiful. They kept doing this art project for 3 days. It was a huge success. \r\n\r\nOur class instruments kept us counting, listening and exploring sounds. They even kept us together while lining up and walking to lunch. I think a few classrooms giggled while we walked around with our instrucments.
