The students use them every time they come to my class. They love seeing which instruments makes what sounds. They love talking about the sounds They hear.

Without donors like you, I don't think my first year in the classroom would be possible. The students are loving when we draw musical notes on notebook paper and learning about them. I believe they will be over the moon when they see we will have a whiteboards to draw them on now. They love the posters my husband bought for the classroom, they are going to enjoy looking at the new ones too. The seat sacks, oh goodness, they are going to enjoy that so much that they won't have to fight over a basket because they will have their own materials at their seats.

Their faces lit up when they realized they would be using it to build their very own houses. From measuring and cutting to assembling the pieces, they worked carefully and with pride. The joy on their faces when they held up their finished houses was unforgettable. It gave them such a strong sense of accomplishment.\r\n\r\nThese new resources have allowed students to move beyond drawing or imagining ideas into actually building something with their own hands. Using the Chomp Saw has helped them practice problem-solving, precision, and teamwork while keeping their creativity at the center of the project.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, the students are already asking what we will get to create next in the STEAM Lab. Their excitement for future projects is clear, and this tool will continue to inspire them to explore, design, and build. Thank you for making this experience possible.
