The book serves as both a keepsake and a symbol of encouragement as they continue to grow as learners.

This thank you note comes quite some time since your donation because we moved to a new building over the summer, and I wanted to wait until after the move to make sure that the drums were delivered to the correct address.\r\nNow that the drums are here, the students and I are very excited, and using them all the time! The 7th grade class has created rhythms to accompany songs they've composed for Veteran's day, and the 8th grade class is using them to accompany \"From the Start\", by Laufey. \r\nAt the younger grades, Kindergarteners have used them to play the syllables (rhythm) in their names, third graders have used them to create ostinati for songs we are singing, and fourth graders are using them to create rhythms to popular phrases. \r\nWhat I find really interesting is that the Caribbean students and the students with parents from Africa have immediately recognized the drums as instruments from their cultures, and play them at every opportunity they get. \r\nThank you for your support!

The Kan Jam sets you helped fund were a huge hit during our physical education classes and on Field Day last spring.\r\n\r\nMany of my students had never played frisbee before, so watching them learn to throw, aim, and strategize together was amazing. What started as curiosity quickly turned into laughter, teamwork, and a little friendly competition. Students practiced communication and collaboration while cheering each other on, and it was clear how much pride they took in improving their skills.\r\n\r\nThe Kan Jam games became more than just an activity, they created opportunities for students to build confidence, sportsmanship, and perseverance. Even students who were hesitant at first found ways to participate and shine. These sets gave them a sense of accomplishment and connection that carried beyond school grounds.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping make this possible. Your generosity provided more than just equipment, you gave my students experiences that encouraged teamwork, resilience, and joy in physical activity. They absolutely loved it, and we'll continue to use the Kan Jam sets for years to come!","fullyFundedDate":1742091249063,"projectUrl":"project/building-teamwork-and-precision-with-kan/9098864/","projectTitle":"Building Teamwork and Precision with Kan Jam","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Wilder","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9615815_orig.jpg?crop=800,800,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1722378191507","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9615815"},{"teacherId":9254169,"projectId":9148645,"letterContent":"We're thrilled to share how your support for \"All You Need is Bugs\" brought our science lessons to life! The caterpillars and habitat kits you provided gave our students a front-row seat to the wonders of metamorphosis. It's truly was amazing watching their faces light up as they observed each stage, from tiny caterpillar to beautiful chrysalis, and finally, to a vibrant butterfly emerging. The entire class gasped with wonder as we witnessed a butterfly unfurl its wings for the very first time. This hands-on experience has sparked an incredible curiosity and deepened their appreciation for the natural world.\r\nThe excitement in the classroom when the caterpillars first arrived was palpable, transforming quickly into careful, focused observation. The project concluded with a special butterfly release ceremony, where students learned about the vital role these insects play in our ecosystem. We also dove deeper into butterfly migration and life cycles, and expressed our learning through creative art and writing projects. Your generosity has provided an unforgettable, tangible learning experience that goes far beyond textbooks, creating lasting memories and fostering a love for science in our students.
