We are very excited about these additions to our music studies! As we enter the new year, fifth-grade students will learn about the history of the guitar and how to play it through hands-on instruction. Using guitars is new to our curriculum. Having students play an instrument they see at today's concerts and hear in their own music selections is highly motivating for young musicians. What an amazing gift of music.\r\n\r\nWhen the guitars arrived, the students had no idea what was in the boxes. As they opened each box, their excitement was unbelievable. They could not believe they were given this gift and could actually hold the guitars and would soon learn how to play! The opening of our guitar boxes was truly an exciting day in the music classroom.\r\n\r\nThank you again for supporting music in schools, especially our school!","fullyFundedDate":1760693798632,"projectUrl":"project/little-guitar-fingers/9596228/","projectTitle":"Little Guitar Fingers","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Reid","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10177365"},{"teacherId":9261016,"projectId":9059266,"letterContent":"With my experience and knowledge of the families in our community, I am excited about this opportunity to support our students. Literature and game-like activities will help our kindergarten through fifth-grade students engage in real-life scenarios while learning to manage various situations. Our students need social-emotional strategies that help them interact with others while focusing on a positive mindset to problem-solve and work toward meeting goals successfully. I have enjoyed my new role as the Social Emotional Teacher. The resources I ordered in August proved beneficial and engaging for all my students. I needed a few more game sets to allow all students to participate. I used the donated gift card to add to my collection.","fullyFundedDate":1736959794124,"projectUrl":"project/social-emotional-learning-games/9059266/","projectTitle":"Social Emotional Learning Games","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Mandeville","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9261016"},{"teacherId":9255916,"projectId":8576450,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting my project and helping me prepare for my first year as a Special Education teacher. After spending the past eight years teaching in a general education classroom, I am thrilled to take on this new role where I can not only support my students academically but also help them build their social-emotional strengths.\r\n\r\nThe materials I selected provided invaluable support to my students, making learning both effective and fun. The weighted blankets have been incredibly helpful for students with difficulty staying focused, providing them with the sensory input they need to feel calm and engaged. The books about emotions and the \"take action\" activities made learning social-emotional skills enjoyable and interactive for my students.\r\n\r\nI truly appreciate your generosity in helping me create a welcoming, supportive, and engaging environment for my students.
