FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Swedberg's classroom raised $795

This project is fully funded

My Project

I love teaching music lessons that are centered around books. I read or sing a book and then turn it into music lessons and activities. Kids love learning new and old music. This project will help me get the materials I need to teach a love of music and a love of literacy.

Students will be leaving music class singing songs like Frog On A Log, Ten Little Ladybugs, and Rocket Bye Baby: A Space Lullaby, as well as learning about musical stories like the In the Hall of the Mountain King.

I am so excited to teach this new music to my students and share the love and joy I have for music and literacy.
