  • Kindergartners Need to Sing!

    Funded Dec 20, 2011

    I would like to thank you all again for the wonderful donations you have given to my class. My students have been able to listen and dance to music from all around the world! There are pictures posted of the students doing a song and dance from Ghana called Highlife. It tells the story of a village that is preparing a dinner, but they have to catch the main ingredient, a chicken! There are so many hand movements, and body movements in this dance. They love it! They even got to make masks from Africa!

    Also, as a teacher, being able to give my students the opportunity to learn about other countries, and have fun at the same time is rewarding. They ask for more! I plan to continue adding songs, and finding dances to incorporate into the education of my students.

    Thank you all again for the support! Without you, music, dance, and song would be eliminated from the classroom.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Marrufo

  • Future Scientists of Wilmington

    Funded Mar 31, 2008

    Wow. This is just amazing! Thank you all so much for this generous gift. I can't wait to see my students' reactions when they walk into the classroom for the first time to use these microscopes. You are all so wonderful to provide such a hands on learning experience for my students. I am truly overwhelmed with emotion right now. You are all so great and this gift is greatly appreciated.

    With Sincere Appreciation,

    Mrs. Anna ”

Wow, kindergarten! Could you imagine a kindergarten classroom without music?! We are in a school district that is having a hard time budgeting for teachers, with so many of our arts programs having been cut, including music. My students love to sing and dance, but it has been difficult playing music on our old computers! Many times they just shut off or don't play the Cd's correctly. The sound can't be turned up on some of the computers so it is hard for us to hear. I would love to be able to play more songs for my students to sing throughout the day, to broaden their horizons, and to introduce them to a huge array of music.
