Ms. Barrera from Wilmington DE is requesting musical instruments through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Drumming and Strumming through Covid

Help me give my students the gift of music during Covid. We are not able to share instruments so these supplies would help my students continue to create music and have fun.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

My students love music. We practice beats and write cadences for our school expectations and school pledge. My students like to share their work with others. Last year, we performed several times for our families and friends. We create songs and music all year long!

My Project

Drumming and Music is proven to help manage stress and develop neuropathways. This grant will let me put instruments into the hands of my students so they can create music. We will use the instruments to turn our school expectations and academic terms into beats and rhythm.

Building beats and creating songs will give my students ways to express their feelings and thoughts as we move through this pandemic.

Through classroom lessons and fun activities, we will explore different music styles. We will learn to work together as we write and play.
