Your kindness has already made such a difference for my students and for me.\r\n\r\nLast year was one of the hardest years I've had as a teacher. I was supporting students with very big needs, and there were many days that felt heavy. But no matter how hard things got, the one thing that always brought us back together was music. Sitting in our cozy area, making rhythms, singing songs, or simply listening to one another create sounds—it was the place where we could all breathe, reset, and remember that joy was still possible. Music truly became our safe place.\r\n\r\nThis year, with a brand-new group of students, I already see those same magical moments unfolding. The cozy seating you helped provide has become the heart of our morning gatherings. Students are beginning to explore the instruments with curiosity and delight. You should see their faces when we play \"fast and slow\"—or as we say for our Spanish-speaking students, \"rápido y lento.\" Who knew 10 minutes of experimenting with speed could bring so much laughter? And when we sing name songs or lullabies together, I can already see the way music calms their bodies and fills our room with warmth.\r\n\r\nI am endlessly grateful for every single donation—big or small—that made this possible. Because of your generosity, my students don't just have instruments and seating; they have opportunities to laugh together, to calm themselves, to feel connected, and to find joy every single day. Thank you for giving us that gift.","fullyFundedDate":1746756001747,"projectUrl":"project/marching-to-the-beat-of-our-own-drums-/9250059/","projectTitle":"Marching to the Beat of Our Own Drums: #Music-is-for-Everyone","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Amelia","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7181601_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1746447026370","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7181601"},{"teacherId":9093125,"projectId":9092994,"letterContent":"My students absolutely love this new rug.
