Because our classroom is constantly moving, singing, and creating, having a board that can travel with us has made lessons more interactive and engaging. I can now bring visual aids directly to students during rhythm exercises, note reading, and composing activities—helping them stay focused and connected no matter where they are in the room.\r\n\r\nThe double-sided board provides extra instructional space, and the built-in storage keeps our markers, magnetic manipulatives, and other music materials organized and accessible. This has improved the flow of our lessons and allows students to participate more actively and confidently.\r\n\r\nYour support has truly elevated our learning environment and inspired our young musicians to explore, create, and thrive. Thank you for helping make our classroom a space where students can fully engage with music in a hands-on and meaningful way.","fullyFundedDate":1760693579296,"projectUrl":"project/expanding-our-music-learning-a-mobile-e/9640994/","projectTitle":"Expanding Our Music Learning: A Mobile Easel for Our Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Byers","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6051496_orig.png?crop=617,617,x358,y579&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1759258671322","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/triciabyers"},{"teacherId":6051496,"projectId":9127735,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generosity, our students now have the tools to make their voices heard—literally!

Each student has a jar with their name taped to it. Throughout the school day students can earn each type of coin. They earn the coins for meeting expectations all across campus. They can also get fined for not meeting expectations. Since the jars are clear, it is a wonderful visual representation of what the students have been up to behaviorally at school. Since the jars are a somewhat small size, we have the ability to keep jars in the top part of our desk when not using them and keep the jars in the top corner of our desk when they are in use.
