When I took the bells out of the boxes and placed them on one of our instrument shelves, the students walked in with excitement and wonder. The loved the colors and instantly recognized that they match the solfege. \r\nThe first time they played the bells they were all surprised at how LOUD they were, and how long the vibration lasted. The students enjoyed using them to play songs we had already learned.\r\nI think the most exciting moment though, was when they used the bells in their end of the year concert. We turned off the lights and they played in the dark. The sound of the bells resonated throughout the gym where we were performing. They felt very proud of themselves, and the parents LOVED it.\r\nAs far as the xylophone stand goes, it is a hit with ALL grade levels as it rises and lowers to fit any height. Students are able to stand up and play using the proper technique. I really appreciate that this is now more accessible to everyone.","fullyFundedDate":1743279007624,"projectUrl":"project/ring-in-the-new-year-with-music/8985615/","projectTitle":"Ring in the New Year with Music","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Campbell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9363398_orig.jpg?crop=1280,1280,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1756236411442","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9363398"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_53969","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":305,"numTeachers":23,"percentFrplEligible":39,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":70,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":22,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"13.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":73.7,"schoolId":53969,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Gene L Scarselli Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Gene L Scarselli Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/nevada/douglas-county-school-district/gene-l-scarselli-elementary-school/53969"}
