This initiative allows our students to feel the rhythm, experience music firsthand, and engage in creative expression.\r\n\r\nMusic plays a vital role in children's growth by enhancing their cognitive development, improving language skills, and boosting emotional well-being. Through music, students develop better concentration, memory, and coordination. It also encourages collaboration and communication, helping to build a supportive classroom community.\r\n\r\nYour funding fosters creativity, exploration, and a genuine love for the arts and music. Because of this opportunity, our students are not only thriving academically but also gaining confidence and joy through artistic expression.\r\n\r\nWe are truly grateful for your commitment to enriching our students' educational experiences and helping them grow in so many meaningful ways.","fullyFundedDate":1755719228901,"projectUrl":"project/feel-the-beat/9614394/","projectTitle":"Feel The Beat!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Szymanski","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8287101_orig.png?crop=229,229,x0,y33&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1761929413480","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8287101"},{"teacherId":9745641,"projectId":9596242,"letterContent":"I want to sincerely thank you for your generous donation that provided our class with two full sets of books — Restart by Gordon Korman and My Life as a Potato by Arianne Costner.

Having a class set makes such a difference in creating a shared reading experience where every student can fully participate.\r\n\r\nYour kindness has given my students the opportunity to connect with engaging stories that inspire empathy, self-reflection, and laughter. Restart helps students explore themes of second chances and personal growth, while My Life as a Potato brings humor and heart to the challenges of fitting in and being yourself.

Many students will be introduced to Beverly Cleary's timeless series for the first time, and I'm excited to see their curiosity grow as they seek out more books featuring Ramona and her world.

We use dry erase boards every day in math, and having a variety of ultra-fine tips has helped students organize their equations more clearly and take greater pride in their work. The permanent markers have been just as popular. We recently started a project-based learning unit where students designed science posters and visual vocabulary cards—projects that really came to life thanks to the bold colors and precision of the new markers.\r\n\r\nOne especially memorable moment was when a group of students used the assorted Sharpies to create timeline illustrations of Earth's systems in science class. Their creativity soared because they had the right tools to match their vision—no more asking if anyone had a working marker or settling for faded colors. Next, we'll be using the markers to create interactive math games and personalized displays for student-led conferences.
