These materials went a long way in helping students find a safe space and access music in a variety of ways. It was fun to watch them enjoy and explore the materials in this project. \r\n\r\nOne of my favorite moments from this project was allowing students to compose their own music. Then, they worked with partners and small groups to read one another's composition. In this particular station, they used their whisper phones to hear themselves sing and hear what their music and their voice sounded like in a group of students. \r\n\r\nIt was a lesson full of energy and music, and students of all levels were able to access it. Students thought it was so cool to hear their own singing voices, even though the classroom was full of singing and counting rhythms. \r\n\r\nThese supplies have helped students be aware of their own progress and give themselves feedback and describe where they can improve their own skills.","fullyFundedDate":1630601071733,"projectUrl":"project/sensory-ational-music/5713387/","projectTitle":"Sensory-Ational Music","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Perry","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4218601_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y386&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1694751950197","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4218601"},{"teacherId":10363168,"projectId":9930064,"letterContent":"Thank you for supporting our project, Technology Helps Us Learn.
