My Project

My students are enthusiastically expressive. In our classroom, we learn how to express our feelings with music, movement, and creativity. These materials will be used in listening to music activities and coloring what you feel and/or hear. An assessment tool I use for younger students is coloring pictures by coloring by note. This allows me to see if my students can identify the note symbols.

Please help me provide my students with materials that allow a positive path of expression.

Our crayons are currently in sad shape. Most of our crayons are so broken that my students with low fine motor skills cannot use them.
