We spent a lot of time reading stories and adding music and instruments to them. This helps us to develop reading skills alongside our musical creativity! We learn to use our voice in different ways as well as playing instruments.\r\n\r\nAs soon as the books arrived, a student stopped into the music room. He read the story with me for the first time! We sang it as an echo, then he was able to sing the story back to me. We discussed options for the future when we use it in class. The story also came with some manipulatives, which he loved!\r\n\r\nThank you again for making these experiences possible!","fullyFundedDate":1746669963589,"projectUrl":"project/musical-movement-and-stories/9075831/","projectTitle":"Musical Movement and Stories","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Heckathorn","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9269933_orig.jpg?crop=624,624,x156,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1721870148064","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9269933"},{"teacherId":9970714,"projectId":9178547,"letterContent":"It is with great excitement that my students were able to use all of the new games and materials during indoor recess time. The hope was to give the students more opportunities to socialize together for the half-hour recess block instead of having them playing games on their computers. The first time they saw the new games, they were genuinely excited to get into groups and begin playing. There was wonderful conversation, engagement from all students, and positive interaction. \r\n\r\nI look forward to using these games and materials for years to come during indoor recess time. Moving forward, Monday-Thursday will be no computer days during indoor recess. Students will need to interact and play different games together within the classroom. While Friday I will allow devices to come out, I look forward to seeing students interacting and getting along while playing some of the classic board games that I grew up playing. Over the past several years, I have seen a growing need for more social interaction among students. Particularly after COVID, students have a hard time getting along and interacting appropriately with one another. My hope is that giving them all of these opportunities will allow for this to begin happening.

We are so thankful! Our kids were so surprised, and cannot stop talking about the beautiful rug! A group of 6th graders saw it delivered and were so eager to see it that they helped unbox it and decide how to arrange it. That was so special!\r\n\r\nThe rug has made a significant difference in our music classroom. It is a great incentive for students who don't always sit how they are supposed to; students can only sit on the carpet when they are following expectations!
