My Project

My early childhood special education students love music, movement, and sound! With your support this music project will provide my students access to so many musical options.

Music is all around us & so fun to explore, experience, and enjoy!

Each of these items will create a class set for all my student will have access to in my brand new music center. Additionally, I can help my student learn descriptive words while providing them real life examples (ex: soft, quiet, soft, hard, fast, slow, etc.), as well as support their speech and language skills.

Thanks for helping us learn to keep a beat & have fun!

Mrs. Jessica Dercher will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by July 20.
