Acquiring new sound and music equipment will allow peer relationships to flourish at recess. The goal is to help students stay excited about school, empathetic and emotionally in tune with their peers and to maintain student involvement throughout the day. The funding of this equipment will provide a way for students to build upon their social skills by encouraging them to participate and grow beyond their comfort zone to get to know students around them. These tools will help me build positive relationships with students. I want my students to know that they matter and hope that they take pride in their school.
