We use the space for singing games, musical stories, rhythm activities, and opportunities to create music together. It has made it easier for students to connect with one another, participate, and feel like they are part of our musical community. Some of my favorite moments are when everyone gathers together to sing and make music as one big group!\r\n\r\nThe students were so excited to see our new music room rug! They loved having a comfortable, welcoming place to gather together. There was an immediate sense of excitement as they explored the space and imagined all the things we could do there.\r\n\r\nWe will continue building our musical community through singing, movement, rhythm, and creative music-making activities. My hope is that this space continues to encourage curiosity, creativity, confidence, and a love of music. We are so grateful to our donors for helping make these experiences possible!","fullyFundedDate":1786541776011,"projectUrl":"project/a-place-to-gather-learn-and-make-music/10385655/","projectTitle":"A Place to Gather, Learn, and Make Music","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Puga","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7678809_orig.jpg?crop=2253,2253,x0,y165&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1607024108370","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7678809"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_60648","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":163,"numTeachers":9,"percentFrplEligible":17,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":87,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":7,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":3,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"18.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":87.5,"schoolId":60648,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Johnson Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Johnson Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/massachusetts/nahant-school-department/johnson-elementary-school/60648"}
