This teacher needs your help!

Ms. Koontz from N. Las Vegas, NV is requesting classroom basics through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Access to Music

Help me give my students staff whiteboards and paper so they can practice music notation!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Koontz's classroom raised $584

This project is fully funded

My Project

The specific items I have requested will help make a difference in my students learning because they will be able to have a more hands on approach to learning music theory/notation. They will be able to write things out on staffs and follow along instead of just watching me do it on the board.

My goal(s) for this project is to give my students better access to materials needed for choir.

My students are special because this is the first year that this school has had choir in over 10 years, and my students are helping me restart this program. I want them to have what they need and deserve.
