It is a post-apocalyptic piece that is actually quite upbeat. When technology is destroyed, along with 99% of humanity, everyone has time to think and be happy. The impact, we were all happy? Maybe not so much. We are blowing up Iran for no reason. That mitigates joy. \r\n\r\nAnyway. I hope you are all well. All joking aside, I appreciate this gift.

At least one group will be creating a podcast that compares and discusses both Shelley's novel and del Toro's adaptation. I'm looking forward to seeing what students produce. \r\n\r\nThank you for your continued support of our students. I wish I could share the podcast(s) and other projects with you.

The process of getting the students to write by hand is still developing; they are learning strategies like utilizing thesauruses and dictionaries, as well as how to organize their ideas before they write their paragraphs. I also find that I am learning strategies for teaching, with the blue books, which allow me to give the students feedback that they can reference on their future essays. \r\n\r\nI have set up their folders, so each student has a folder with all of their important work in it.

We've used them at three different festivals so far, where our percussion students were able to perform with the equipment in a real adjudicated setting. Having access to high-quality instruments has made a noticeable difference in both their confidence and the overall sound of the ensemble. It has allowed students to focus on musicality and technique rather than worrying about limitations in the equipment.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the new materials, they were genuinely excited. Percussionists, in particular, notice the difference right away when they have instruments that respond well and sound great. It created a sense of pride and ownership within the section, and they were eager to incorporate the new equipment into rehearsals and performances. Moments like that remind students that people beyond our classroom believe in their work and want to support their growth.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, these resources will continue to play an important role in our program. Later this month, we will be using them to prepare and store cymbals as we get ready for our upcoming band trip to the Baltics. This international performance opportunity is a major experience for our students, and having reliable equipment ensures they can represent our school and community at the highest level. Your support is helping create meaningful musical experiences that our students will remember for the rest of their lives.","fullyFundedDate":1764208456989,"projectUrl":"project/protect-our-sound-cymbal-travel-case-fu/9873537/","projectTitle":"Protect Our Sound: Cymbal Travel Case Fund","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Petrik","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10341024_orig.jpg?crop=622,622,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1762272318882","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10341024"},{"teacherId":10214440,"projectId":9639243,"letterContent":"Once again, thank you so much for your donation.
