Snug as a Bug on a Musical Rug!
Funded Aug 12, 2018Thank you all so much for graciously giving to my Donors Choose Grant! My students absolutely love the new rug! Having a comfy cozy place to sit and enjoy is wonderful.
When I moved into my new space I was incredibly happy to have a large trailer and even a bathroom, but the one problem was the tile floor. The tile is easy to clean and more durable, but when it comes to floor games, instruments and sound absorption, I needed a solution. This Musical Rug was that perfect solution. I couldn't believe that I received the funds so quickly to help my students. When I fist unraveled the carpet the kids went berserk. Watching them point out the music words and symbols was a true delight.
My students will always need a place to work in groups, play circle games and even just lounge around during an activity. With the help of donors like you I have a special place for every child and every activity.”

Coffee Tins and Cutting Boards for a Music Class?
Funded Aug 24, 2017Thank you all so much for your generosity! The project being funded has given my students so much joy and passion for musical performing. The new home-made kids drum sets, called Stick Stations, have revolutionized the way I teach rhythms to my 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students. We have performed rhythm echoes, melodies and even playing along with famous classical music! Having portable instruments to utilize in the student's classes has been wonderful. It is already obvious that their rhythmic counting ability has grow! The first week of instruments was by far the best. Seeing the children's eyes grow in amazement was too cool.
The excitement for music and performing on these great instruments has been truly wonderful and a game changer for our music curriculum. The smiles and joy will never be forgotten.”
