The cases help us keep our bells safe and organized and the gloves help students learn how to properly care for the instruments.\r\n\r\nOur 3rd grade handbell club starts next week and I'm so excited that we have enough supplies to make this club larger this year and can have several more students in the group! We are looking forward to this new way of making music together and can't wait to perform for our guests at Veterans Day and grandparents day!\r\n\r\nThank you for giving my students this opportunity to make music together!","fullyFundedDate":1787320582606,"projectUrl":"project/ringing-in-success-with-handbells/10389067/","projectTitle":"Ringing in Success with Handbells!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Amsler","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp92747_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1448296737769","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/amslermusic"},{"teacherId":92747,"projectId":10389043,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our music classroom by providing a bass xylophone stand and ukulele racks! These resources have made such a difference in how we organize, use, and care for our instruments. The bass xylophone stand makes it easier for students to safely play this important classroom instrument, while the ukulele racks give our ukuleles a secure and organized home when we move them from the classroom to the stage for concerts. When students first saw the new equipment, they were excited!\r\n\r\nThese new resources are already helping our music lessons run more smoothly. It has also been a great opportunity to teach students about taking responsibility for our classroom instruments by carefully getting them out, using them properly, and returning them to their designated spaces.\r\n\r\nWe look forward to using these instruments in upcoming concert and classroom activities.

We have been putting the materials to use during our music classes- with opportunities to explore, create, and learn through hands-on experiences. One of my favorite moments was watching students create movements to music using our new giant fan scarves. They were excited to try the new materials, share ideas with their classmates, and see their creativity come to life. These resources have helped make our lessons more engaging and have given students new ways to express themselves through movement and music.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the \"agility rings\", they were skeptical about how these were going to fit into music class (I heard things like \"this is for gym class!\"). They had a BLAST jumping to the beat with the rings. These were great for beat reinforcement, working together in a group, as well as large motor skills\r\n\r\nOur next steps are to continue incorporating these materials into upcoming projects and concerts. Your generosity has made these experiences possible, and we are incredibly grateful for your support.

Our 2nd graders played steady beats with them. We also created line art with mallets based on the works of artists like Kandinsky. Our third graders started our school's first handbell club with our new handbells!
