Awesome Books With Musical Hooks Part 2
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Swedberg's classroom raised $613
This project is fully funded
My Students
I teach music in Wichita, KS. There are approximately 920 students and it is the largest K-8 school in the Wichita District. I will be teaching K-5 general music as well as exploratory classes for 7th and 8th-grade students.
I am so excited to work with the students, parents, and staff to bring them the love and joy of music. My academy is in the top 1% of the most diverse schools in the state. Our school has 62% minority enrollment with 28% Asian, 12% Hispanic, and 11% Black. Our students eligible for free and reduced lunch is at 40%. I want to give my new students the best opportunities to learn.
My Project
I love teaching music lessons that are centered around books. I read or sing a book and then turn it into music lessons and activities. Kids love learning new and old music. This project will help me get the materials I need to teach a love of music and a love of literacy.
Students will be leaving music class singing songs like The Swapping Song, In My Life, as well as learning about the musical story behind the song We Shall Overcome. I am so excited to teach this new music to my students and share the love and joy I have for music and literacy.
