Over the summer, we used the ukuleles to provide a free ukulele class for teens at our local public library. This class allowed students from Cheboygan and other schools to participate in music lessons and take an instrument to practice all at no cost to the students. This type of access to music education would not have been possible without YOUR support. \r\n\r\nOur 2026-2027 school year has started, and again the meaningful impact of having a Ukulele Library is already evident. Students are so excited for their turn to \"rent\" a ukulele, and through a grant, I was able to add another 28 ukuleles to our instrument library. The support and joy I have in allowing my students the opportunity to practice music outside of the classroom is immense, and I am so THANKFUL for the DonorChoose platform and for your support. Happy fall, and wishing you well.","fullyFundedDate":1774206886572,"projectUrl":"project/strumming-right-along/10162808/","projectTitle":"Strumming Right Along","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Abby","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10090583_orig.jpg?crop=1536,1536,x0,y112&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753299997468","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10090583"},{"teacherId":10500493,"projectId":10278376,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting my Physical Education classroom!

They were especially eager to try the stacking cups and balloons and started asking what games we could play with them.

One of our favorite activities so far has been cup-stacking challenges, where students work together, communicate, and encourage each other while building coordination and perseverance.\r\n\r\nAs we continue through the school year, students will keep using these materials during cooperative games, fitness challenges, and skill-building activities.

What I did not expect was the buckets of collaboration, teamwork, excitement and connection that came from the Chomp Saw! My students worked together to research, choose and prepare projects. They coached each other through using the machine, and they showed more patience and determination than I had yet seen! The Chomp Saw really brought out the best characteristics in many of my students.\r\n\r\nOne particular student, who struggles greatly to engage in academic tasks that he's not confident about, began to work harder than ever on anything we asked him to do... so he could continue working on the cardboard airplane he had begun. The Chomp Saw has propelled many students to work with greater effort and diligence, too.\r\n\r\nBeing a military spouse, I knew the day would eventually come when I had to leave Cheboygan Intermediate School and, due to the regulations of Donors Choose, leave behind the wonderful materials my class and I had been blessed with. My husband and I relocated to southeastern Virginia this July. I'm grateful to have the chance to leave a wonderful tool like the Chomp Saw behind as a sort of parting gift. \r\n\r\nThe above-mentioned student insisted that I take his beloved cardboard airplane with me, and it's now hanging from the ceiling in my new classroom in VA.
