Teenagers love music! When they are inspired to play I am here to help them accomplish that goal! With your help I am able to supply them with the instruments and gear link cables, amplifiers, microphones and other things. I have different groups of students that are forming bands. They schedule a day to stay after school with me to use the gear I can supply to start performing songs with quality equipment that actually works! \r\nMy students were blown away by the quality and sound of the new amplifier you just supplied for us. They have been using the amp and all of the other gear in my classroom such as drums, guitars and bass guitars. We also use the amplifier in my first class of the day that is called Pop Music Class. In that class, we learn songs using all of the different instruments and perform them together. My other classes are classical guitar classes. Of course, my students in those classes want to use the electric guitars but only when they finish the given assignment of then classical guitars. In short, the amp is working out great!","fullyFundedDate":1788196077677,"projectUrl":"project/an-excellent-amp-for-excellent-kids/10505301/","projectTitle":"An Excellent Amp for Excellent Kids!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Sunderman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2720969_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1533050121798","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2720969"},{"teacherId":9335536,"projectId":10259915,"letterContent":"At the beginning of this school year, you all helped my students start strong with materials from our \"Print, Prep, Succeed\" project! \r\n\r\nSince then, my students have utilized every item from the project.

Many of my ELD students benefit from having printed materials they can write on and keep in their folders. Clear and accessible materials help students follow lessons independently and review important vocabulary and concepts at their own pace.\r\nThese supplies make learning more engaging, organized, and accessible for my ELD students.
