The supplies you provided my classroom have helped me to create a more comfortable, inclusive, and engaging classroom environment. These supplies are not ones usually funded by my school, but they make a big difference for my students and helping them to connect with one another. I often have small groups of students who sit together and crochet and talk in comfortable chairs in a circle during our Flex Time. It's surprising what types of students return again and again. Several boys have gotten excited about crocheting, which surprised me! Some kids who aren't as excited about the sports options during our school's Flex Time, find a comfortable environment in my classroom. The discussion has been great!

The day the keyboards arrived, students were practically bouncing with anticipation as we unboxed them together. Many had never had the chance to play on full-sized, touch-sensitive keyboards before, and they dove right in—experimenting with sounds, figuring out melodies, and exploring music in a hands-on, meaningful way.\r\n\r\nSince their arrival, the keyboards have become a core part of our music classroom. We've been learning popular songs that students choose themselves, giving them a voice in their musical learning and encouraging a deeper connection to the material. One unforgettable moment was watching a student proudly play the intro to their favorite song for the class—something they had taught themselves during independent practice time. That spark of confidence and creativity is exactly what we hoped these instruments would inspire.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we're excited to build on this momentum. The success of these early experiences has inspired us to plan a dedicated, multi-week piano unit for next school year. This will allow students to dive deeper into keyboard technique, music reading, and composition. Your donation has truly opened up new possibilities for our music program, and we're so grateful to have your support in creating opportunities that inspire and empower our young musicians.","fullyFundedDate":1735657830806,"projectUrl":"project/jam-out-keyboards-for-empowering-studen/8906561/","projectTitle":"Jam Out!
