My Project

Hello and thanks for looking at my project! I am beginning this school year with 34 awesome kids who I am so excited to teach. In 5th grade we do multiple projects, which means a lot of independent work time. Time that could be benefited heavily by the use of music!

I’ve seen firsthand how music can quickly and effectively help students in a classroom.

From soft music playing to help them focus, to using exciting music to pump them up for the next lesson, music is a tools I love to use in my classroom as much as possible.

The other wonderful thing this tool would help with is giving my students a chance to show off their work in a large and loud way! We create music and songs as a project in our class, and giving my students a speaker like this to present on is sure to make them feel like rockstars, sharing their magnum opus with the world.

Thank you again for looking, and a big thank you to anyone willing to donate!
