Because of your generous support, my students now have a hands on way to express rhythms when learning to read rhythmic notation. Students were very appreciative to have new drumsticks to use for this purpose, and preference using the newer sticks over the older, more fragile ones. The buckets work well to store the new sticks, and I am working on a way to convert the extra buckets to hand drums so we may have additional percussion instruments to use with literacy instruction.
