• School Supplies for Little Musicians!

  Funded Dec 3, 2024

  Before this project, my students had to share disorganized crayons and colors, which made it difficult to keep track of materials and stay focused. Now, every student in my music classroom has their own crayon box or pencil case filled with colors, an eraser, and a pencil. This has significantly improved engagement during assessments and increased overall productivity. Students can quickly grab their supplies without distractions, allowing us to maximize our learning time.

  The students were so excited to have their own supplies, and many of them immediately started organizing their crayon boxes and pencil cases. Some even commented on how nice it was to not have to wait or share, making them feel more prepared and responsible for their own materials.

  The next step is to use these materials consistently for our assessments and classroom activities, ensuring that students stay engaged and productive. Now that they have their own resources, they can focus entirely on their work rather than searching for or sharing supplies.”

• Decluttering Our Music Classroom!

  Funded Sep 9, 2024

  Thank you for your incredible support of my project to declutter and organize our music classroom. Your generosity has brought us the tools we need to create a more functional and inspiring learning environment for our students.

  With your help, we now have items like storage boxes, carts, and organizers that will make it easier to keep our classroom supplies in order. These tools are more than just supplies—they're a key part of creating a space where students can focus, create, and enjoy learning.

  I remember when I first handed out the crayon boxs, last year we had to share crayons that were out of order. This year after handing a crayon box to each student for their first project, a student literally said FINALLY!!! it was hilarious but it also showed how much in need these supplies were in the classroom.

  Your kindness has made a meaningful difference, and we are so excited to start using these new resources to enhance our daily learning experience. You have made a lasting impact on our classroom and our students' lives. We couldn't have done this without you!”

• Creative Music! Materials for Fun Musical Learning

  Funded Aug 29, 2024

  I hope this note finds you well! I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for your generous support of my project, Creative Music! Materials for Fun Musical Learning. Thanks to you, my students have been diving into music and creativity in ways I only dreamed of before.

  We've been using the musical blocks to explore rhythm patterns and practice group coordination, while the dry-erase dice have been a huge hit for musical games. For example, students roll a die to pick a tempo, dynamics, or musical term, then we incorporate it into our compositions—it's learning disguised as pure fun! The popsicle sticks have been perfect for creating art projects about musical instruments and so far, the students have really loved it.

  Thank you once again for bringing this creativity and joy into our classroom. Your kindness has truly made a difference in my students' learning journey.”

• Let's Build a Musical Library!

  Funded Aug 21, 2024

  Our new music library has been a game-changer! It's filled with colorful, engaging books that help kids explore rhythm, learn about instruments, and connect stories to the sounds they hear every day. When we read together as a group, we dive into these stories, sparking curiosity and fun discussions. For early finishers, the library corner has become the go-to spot—it's a cozy place to explore and learn independently.

  It's heartwarming to see how excited the kids are about the library. They're constantly asking, "Can I read now?" This library isn't just about books—it's about giving students new ways to connect, explore, and fall in love with learning and music. Thank you for making it possible!”
