My Project

I work at an amazing Montessori school, teaching Band and Orchestra to the students in grades 4 - 8. My students work very hard and just like every classroom, we have certain supplies that are needed in order to ensure their success.

The supplies in my project range from regular classroom supplies such as tissues and disinfectant wipes that ensure student safety to items like a case for our string bass which will ensure safe traveling to performances and music festivals.

A music classroom is unlike any other in its need for supplies, both reusable and consumable. Student-sized dry erase boards with a permanent music staff will help my students to become musically literate and engage in fun activities that will enhance their learning.
