My Project

Next year, our building will be closed and all of our staff and students will be moved to our new-to-us school! We are very excited, nervous, and a bit scared about the move, but are anxious to be in a new building! Our new building will be K-8, and we will be serving about 680 students. I am trying to plan ahead for organizational materials to be able to make the transition to a new music room easier!

Organization is the key to being a good educator!

Because I will see all 680 students throughout the year, I have to make sure I'm ready for it! The items I have ordered will make a huge difference in our classroom.
