My Project

I am a Pre-K through 6th grade music teacher at a Title I school in Dallas. After ten years of having carpet and having all things Velcro'd on the floor for students, I have to start over. Students sit on the floor in my room. With it being a hard surface, I want to ensure my students can sit comfortably and have all the markings on the floor they need for their learning to be cohesive.

Music requires all sorts of movement, and I want to ensure they can do it safely with the mats on the floor.

Different setups require other markings on the floor.

I always have my room ready to play glow-in-the-dark music. The tape will be a huge help for students who need to know where to go.
