These things were used so much last year, I had to get more for this school year. So far, we've played a school-wide family event where each teacher hosted an activity based on a book and theme. I taught them Octo-Tag! The older students love to use them to lengthen their reach for Music Tag! And the 2nd & 3rd graders cannot wait to use them for Light Saber Rhythms in a future lesson. \r\nThank you for allowing me to purchase enough for 2 per every child in my class for future lessons. Students are curious and excited to see them in my room along the wall - they cannot wait to find out how we will use them for Music lessons this school year!

Thank you so much for allowing me another 2 years of MusicPlay! I love this website! It has recognizable, older songs, cultural songs, and new every month. I love how it tells stories, offer learning games, quizzes, even vocal and physical warm-ups. When Denise Gagne first designed this website, she was really just offering her written curriculum online...but it's grown to so much more! So many across the USA, Canada, and the worlds have collaborated with her site and it's so amazing how low it costs, considering all the offers.\r\nMy students love MusicPlay. The littles love to warm-up with BoBo and the older ones are always asking to play Poison Rhythm. It's a wonderful supplemental option to have for my lessons!\r\nThank you for generosity!

Thank you so much for the opportunity to use these pop-up tents! We used them back in May 2 times, but I was out for one event and the other I completely forgot! HOWEVER...I KNEW we'd be using them within the 1st 9-weeks when school opened back up and I WAS RIGHT! We used the for out annual Boosterthon for shade over our water stations. Parents and students utilized them a lot this year, since the last 2 years they were not needed...it was extra sunny and hot here in FL before noon on Sept 17th! \r\nWe also had them ready to go for 1st weekly Run/Walk day, 2 days after the boosterthon. Run/Walk is a school-wide, every class period participation on Fridays. This is to get the kiddos moving and earning mileage points and prizes yearly! Our teachers, assistants, and volunteers were so grateful to have these tents out since the sun was intense and it was a humid 96 degrees out. YIKES - these pop-up tents are a huge commodity at our school and my admin and fellow faculty appreciate the fact they were funded through community members and un-known donors who just care about our school, students, and the environment we teach them in!
