Making Music Together

Funded Nov 4, 2022

The resources I received through this DonorsChoose grant have been such a blessing for my students. It has been many years since my district has offered recorder curriculum and the 4th graders have been so excited to get started. They have learned four notes so far and are thriving! I have seen and heard how proud they are of themselves for learning a new skill. This work with instruments will help them be better musicians in the future.

The other items in the grant have helped my classroom feel like a more comfortable place. The rug provides a homey touch and I am able to use the musical symbols on it to reinforce concepts I am teaching. The foam pads will be used for bucket drumming starting in March. The 5th graders cannot wait to get started!

The students have also enjoyed the fun additions to my prize box. The best thing about most of these materials is they will be enjoyed for many years to come. Thank you again, so, so much!”

With gratitude,
