I've watched students dive into activities, ask thoughtful questions, and work together in ways that make learning meaningful. It's amazing to see their confidence grow as they discover they can figure things out on their own.\r\n\r\nI'm also grateful for the chance to add flexible seating. Just like us, kids do their best thinking when they're comfortable. Having options beyond hard chairs makes it easier for them to focus, collaborate, and feel at home in our classroom.\r\n\r\nI truly love my students, and I want to give them every opportunity to succeed.

My favorite part of watching them build these sets is to listen to them work together and use kind words to reinforce good behavior and manners. \r\n The books have also increased our academic and content vocabulary and the students listening comprehension skills have increased as well.

Their interest levels in the books are very high, which helps keep them engaged and continuing to learn while having fun with the process. \r\n I am forever grateful for your generosity and consideration when sponsoring and funding projects like mine.

Because of your generosity, my fifth grade students in all classes have gotten to experiment with playing the different members of the recorder family. I have used the new recorders to differentiate instruction, both to give advanced students more of a challenge by having them read sheet music in bass clef without additional support, and to create easier parts to support students who struggle with finger dexterity and quick changes between notes (without singling them out.) Students were able to hear the differences in their parts more easily, and as a result they played better in tune and in tone with each other. The addition of the alto recorders to my classroom has also helped support students with sensory differences, as they are a quieter and gentler timbre than the normal soprano recorders, making our learning easier on the ears.\r\nAdditionally, these recorders enabled my school's brand new Recorder Ensemble to perform sophisticated music in three and four parts at our musical in March and at their showcase concert earlier in May, even though my ensemble was entirely fourth graders who were new to recorder this year. A majority of my students who participated this year are eager to return next year, and many of their friends and younger students are hoping to join them as well. Some of my students are so excited about it that they have purchased their own recorders and method books to keep practicing with over the summer! I am so excited to see how this program continues to grow in the coming years.\r\nAbove all, these instruments have given my students a sense of curiosity about music making and respect for the instrument. Even students who previously derided the soprano recorder as being childish lit up as soon as they had the alto or bass in their hands. I have watched these instruments transform the early wind instrument experience of my students. Thank you again for believing in them.","fullyFundedDate":1739928346455,"projectUrl":"project/next-level-recorders-for-next-level-perf/8973618/","projectTitle":"Next-level Recorders for Next-level Performers","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Joskow","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9849471_orig.jpg?crop=2320,2320,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1735170849513","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9849471"},{"teacherId":8985865,"projectId":9013229,"letterContent":"We have had such an incredible time learning about Space!
