My Students

We pull from neighborhoods all around the school, so we have a very diverse population of kids. Many students are driven in from other areas because they want to come to this school. Because of that, we have a wonderful community of teachers, parents, support staff, and most importantly, awesome children.

The students at my school are bright, creative, and love being hands-on when learning!

In music, we have a great time playing instruments, moving with music, and creating our own compositions! It is truly rewarding to work with such a kind and inquisitive group of children!

This year, we are really focusing on skills that will take our students to the next level. Instead of just teaching to the test, we are challenging our students to be creative, cooperative, and to think big picture. We are encouraging projects that span many different skills to push our students to be critical thinkers. We want our students to excel in reading and math but also in music and the arts. We want them to become the well-rounded individuals we need in our increasingly global society.

My Project

This year has been nothing if not a wild ride! It has definitely opened up teacher's minds about how we create lessons to best reach and engage ALL our students. So this year, I have decided to focus on building the library in my music classroom so I can help encourage literacy through music!

There are so many fun ways to use books in music lessons!

Students can create their own sound effects to tell the story, allowing them to be creative. Many books also have repeated portions that can be made into a song or played on instruments. Teaching a love of music AND reading helps our students grow into well rounded learners!
