Snack time can be stressful for kids who forget their snack or aren't able to bring one from home. Now, instead of feeling left out or hungry, they can grab something quickly and rejoin the routine without worry. Having this resource has led to calmer transitions, better focus during our morning lessons, and fewer distractions caused by hunger.

Our second and third-grade students truly enjoy using it regularly. I integrate this program into my daily lessons to enrich learning experiences. After watching the educational videos, we engage in discussions and take short quizzes, which enhances comprehension.\r\n\r\nHaving used this program for the past ten years, I continue to find it relevant and beneficial for our students' learning journey. Your kind donation has been invaluable, and we are making excellent use of it.

Thank you, LOFT. I work with fifteen different classes of between twenty and thirty students each, kindergarten through third grade. One of the activities the students have enjoyed is singing songs accompanied by guitar. We have also used rhythm sticks while singing to explore beats and syncopation. I wanted the students to have access to something more melodic that they could use in conjunction with singing. The glockenspiels fit the bill. When the students saw the glockenspiels at the beginning of the school year, they were eager to use them. \r\n\r\nThere are two different projects we are exploring with the glockenspiels. The biggest challenge is having the students play in time together. We began by exploring basic patterns in the key of C major. Using the layout of the glockenspiel, which is the same as that of a piano, we looked at how one might build simple two and three-note chords in the key of C major. We also began learning to sing the lyrics and melody to a song in C major. The next step in this project is for students, in pairs, to learn a basic two-note chord progression to harmonize with their singing. \r\n\r\nThe second project we have begun with the glockenspiels explores the pentatonic F# major scale (the black keys on a piano, the top row of keys on the glockenspiel). This five-note scale is useful because all the notes sound good when played together. We have begun by using the concepts of space and patterns to create structures for improvised collaborations. When we listen to music in class, we talk about the ways the voices of different instruments leave space for the voices of other instruments in the composition, as though in conversation. \r\n\r\nUsing the F# major pentatonic scale on the glockenspiel, one student is invited to invent a simple pattern that includes plenty of space or silence. A second student is then invited to join the first by playing in the available spaces. This then creates a kind of call and response relationship between the two students that establishes a mutual rhythm. Because all the notes sound pleasing together, the students are able to focus on the rhythm. Once two have established a rhythmic pattern together, a third is invited to join. \r\n\r\nMoving forward we will continue to use the glockenspiels to harmonize with our singing of songs, perhaps including some of the percussion instruments we have like the rhythm sticks or shakers. We will also continue to explore basic improvisations with the F# major pentatonic scale, slowly bringing in other structural concepts to give form to the improvised compositions.\r\n\r\nAgain, thank you for donating the glockenspiels. They are a valuable resource for the class and for student development.","fullyFundedDate":1752586599420,"projectUrl":"project/xylophone-ensemble/9376624/","projectTitle":"Xylophone Ensemble","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Sara","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9889324_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1736360426581","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/garden"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_10753","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":991,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":33,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":35,"percentWhite":45,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":8,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":8,"gradesServed":"K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":59.6,"schoolId":10753,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Audubon Uptown Lower School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Audubon Uptown Lower School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/louisiana/orleans-parish-school-district/audubon-charter-school-broadway-campus/10753"}
