My Project
My Name is Bonita Butz. I am a teacher In a Head Start classroom in Ft Wayne, Indiana along with my co-teacher Nikia Ashby. My classroom is full of the most amazing 3, 4, and 5 years old children. My students are working hard to learn new and different things. Not only does our school help our students, but we strive to enrich the lives of their families as well. We believe that parent education is a key factor in our student’s success. Our school Mission is to “Close the achievement gap.” We work to ensure that our students are immersed in experiences they may not have the opportunity to do in their everyday life. When my students walk into my classroom, they know they are respected, loved.
In our Head Start Classroom we strive to create learning experiences that students may not be exposed to in their everyday life.
The materials that I am asking for will create a better learning environment for all of my students. They can and will learn about different instruments and music from around the world. My goal is to open my students minds so they will be able to enjoy the different types and rhythms and music.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
