When the instruments came all I could think was the people on our floor was going to be sick of hearing them - lol. The students were so excited to sample all the various musical instruments. They were super excited because this year we did not have instrumental music as a resource; so to be able to give them the opportunity inside the classroom was an additional bonus.\r\n\r\nOne of the way we used to musical instruments was to march around the room singing songs to check out student collaborative work samplings during math. We also created a class band and went into the office just to spread a little love and joy for 30 seconds. Again thanks and have an amazing day.","fullyFundedDate":1768244107785,"projectUrl":"project/celebrating-our-success-through-music/9964809/","projectTitle":"Celebrating our Success through Music","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Alexander, NBCT","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8630083_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1720492533509","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/dralexander"},{"teacherId":8630083,"projectId":9964746,"letterContent":"Thanks so very much for the seating.These chairs were used as a reward specifically for \"always willing to try\" and \"working with my partner\".
