My Students

What makes my students special? Students from my school all come from a diverse background of cultures and family lifestyles. This year I'll be teaching 5th graders. Also many of my students are English Language Learners. My students (no matter what background) have the potential to be amazing learners and incredible human beings! Their passion for learning is what makes them special and I'm proud to be their teacher!

Overall, my students throughout the years have shown me how amazing a student could be when they have a love for learning and a drive to reach their goals!

Although my students come from various financial backgrounds. When given the opportunity then they take it and try their best! As stated earlier, I am very proud to be their teacher.

My Project

Music makes the world go round! Is a common saying and it holds true to this day! The music recorders and music book will help bring music into the educational word of my students as they work from home! During this pandemic my students have endured and rose to the challenge of working from home.

They LOVE music and listening to it every morning!

Why not have my students learn how to play their own amazing music? I am hoping to raise enough funds for my students to do just that!
