• Music Content Posters

  Funded Oct 12, 2023

  Thank you so much for your generous contribution to my classroom. These bright and colorful posters have already inspired many questions about the various topics.

  Students were excited to take turns holding them up as a sort of Museum display in presentation for other students to tour. As I slowly hang them, students are already beginning to use them as sources of reference for their work and to make connections.

  Thank you again for your generous contribution. It's already making waves in our classroom!”

  With gratitude,

• Color-Coded Pianos

  Funded Aug 24, 2023

  The Rock and Roll It Rainbow Flexible Roll-Up Pianos have revolutionized my elementary music class. Their portable design has allowed for dynamic learning experiences, enabling us to take our musical exploration to various settings, both indoors and outdoors. This newfound mobility has expanded our horizons, fostering a deeper connection to music in diverse environments.

  In essence, the Rock and Roll It Rainbow Flexible Roll-Up Pianos have redefined our music curriculum, igniting a passion for music in my elementary students. Their portability, individualized learning potential, and capacity for collaborative exploration have enriched our musical journey in ways beyond measure. I am deeply grateful to the generous donors whose support has forever transformed the landscape of music education for my students.”

• Custom Colorful Materials

  Funded May 9, 2023

  Thanks to your generosity in providing black and colored ink, our students' learning experience has been transformed. This ink has enabled more visually engaging activities, supporting them in developing crucial music skills.

  Notably, students who struggle with traditional learning methods have found motivation and improved performance through the use of our more stimulating manipulatives.

  We express our deepest gratitude for your invaluable contribution, which has opened up a world of opportunities for our students' educational journey.”

• Durable Manipulatives!

  Funded Apr 18, 2023

  Thank you so much for your generous donation! I have received the laminator and pouches. I put them to good use the very first day by reinforcing some old rhythm flashcards, which I used the very SAME day with my kindergarteners!

  Many students have asked what the machine is, and I was happy to explain how some kind souls bought the laminator for my room so we can use my paper tools more often without worrying about them ripping. They were very grateful!

  I am in the process of printing board games and flat versions of 3D manipulatives, which will increase the impact of your gift.

  Thank you again!”
