My Project

Our classroom is a vibrant tapestry of cultures, languages, and experiences, and I want to give my students tools that celebrate and reflect who they are. With Gemini Bluetooth Loudspeaker with Stand and Wired Microphone and the Stand with Microphone supplies, musical listening stations and multicultural resources, my students will have the opportunity to explore creative expression while learning about traditions from around the world. These materials will help them connect art to history, culture, reading, writing and storytelling—broadening their understanding and inspiring pride in their own identities while building respect for others. The Flex Space Ergo Bounce Cantilever Chairs will allow the students bounce to the music while applying the listening and note taking strategies. Students will use the composition books for notetaking and creative writing projects.

My goal is to create an inclusive, hands-on learning space where every student feels seen, valued, and empowered to share their voice.

By engaging in multicultural art projects, students will develop creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking skills that extend far beyond the classroom. My students are special because they bring unique perspectives, life stories, and talents that enrich our learning community every single day. Supporting this project means you’re helping diverse young artists see themselves in their education while giving them the chance to make art that speaks to the world.
