Fourth grade marks the beginning of my student's musical experience. My students begin to explore the magic of their voices and the basics of playing the recorder—setting the stage for choosing an instrument for choir, band, or orchestra in fifth grade.
To make this milestone memorable, I would love to launch the year with the delightful book Lazlo Learns Recorder!
Paired with a recorder and a lovable lemur plush, this story will inspire my students to make beautiful sounds and explore music with confidence and joy. A lovely lemur to cheer them on as they learn to play the recorder? Yes, please!
In our classroom, reading is just as magical as music. Graphic novels like Hooky are beloved books that fly off the shelf—read again and again until the pages are worn with love. A fresh set of these high-demand books will continue to enchant my students, fueling their imaginations and deepening their love for stories.
With your support, we can blend rhythm, reading, and a touch of lemur magic to create a fourth-grade experience that’s engaging, inspiring, and unforgettable!
