Family Music Night

My students need musical instruments to use during our family night and at home with their families.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Julia's classroom raised $817

This project is fully funded

My Students

I teach in a diverse, Title I school in a suburb of Washington, DC. Preschool is often the children's first time being away from their parents, so I strive to make it a fun and engaging environment. This event will be for all the children who attend preschool programs at my school and their families.

Our preschool classes include two, three, four and five-year-olds from a variety of backgrounds.

We have several classes for children with disabilities and prekindergarten classes for children that face potential risk-factors. Our students come from culturally and linguistically diverse families and many face socio-economic challenges.

My Project

Our preschool team is planning to host a series of family events over the coming school year. We would like to help families discover fun and developmentally appropriate activities to do at home that don't involve screens. Young children benefit from high quality materials and interactions with their families.

During our family music night, we will have a family sing-along and invite families to share songs from their cultures.

Each family will get to take home shakers, rhythm sticks, and a dancing scarf or two. This way parents and children can continue to make music together at home. We hope that children will share songs from school with the parents and that parents may share songs from their childhoods with their children.
