Rhythm and Recorders
Funded Jun 6, 2023I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your generous contributions to my project last year! Because of you, I was able to give every 3rd and 4th grader their own recorder to use for our unit. My students were SO excited to receive their recorders after winter break, and I can't wait to see the progress they make during the rest of the year.
The rhythm instruments you helped purchase have also been huge hits in my music classes. K-2 students have been learning about steady beat and reading basic rhythms, 3-5 students have created their own rhythms in groups, and even my middle schoolers are excited to use drums in their next project.
I truly can't thank you all enough for your generosity. My students and I are incredibly grateful!”
With gratitude,

A (Boom)Whacky Music Class!
Funded Jan 26, 2023Thank you so much for supporting my students' learning by getting them these Boomwhackers! I can't express how much my students enjoyed getting to use them. From 1st grade to 5th grade, these were such an exciting and useful way to explore music-making.
I have also enjoyed finding creative ways to further my students' understanding through the Boomwhackers. After spending time practicing note-reading and playing along to their favorite songs, we explored group composition by using the colors of the Boomwhackers as a creative tool. I also discovered that the colors on Chrome Music Labs Song Maker are the same as the Boomwhackers, which my students found helpful as they moved into more independent creative work!
Again, thank you all so much for contributing to this project. I have some exciting ideas for the next school year and can't wait to continue learning with my students!”
With gratitude,
Ms. Granger
