In my chorus class, we utilize whiteboards almost every day as a means to practice writing music, drawing note, and answering daily bell ringers. The markers have come in handy especially with how fast they've been dying recently. The erasers have been extremely helpful as well. My class size is reaching upwards of 35 students, so having extra supplies on standby has been amazing in the classroom. The waters are helping keep my students hydrated especially on the days they forget to bring their waters!","fullyFundedDate":1786541595529,"projectUrl":"project/replenishing-supplies/10444866/","projectTitle":"Replenishing Supplies!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Bowser","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9692185"},{"teacherId":9692185,"projectId":9543808,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for donating to Snacks in Chorus!
