Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

Aaron Copland wrote, "So long as the human spirit thrives on this planet, music in some living form will accompany it and sustain it."

I teach 290 K - 5 students that are unique, imaginative and creative learners.

My students enjoy exploring music, listening to music moving to music and creating music together. We are building life-long lovers of music, creative thinkers, and effective listeners.

We incorporate Science, Technology, Literacy, and Mathematics in music through cross-curricular units. We are a room of musicians, composers, dancers, teachers and creative thinkers!

My Project

I enjoy integrating children's literature into my music lessons.

I would like to create a designated reading space in my music classroom.

I currently I have a few homemade pillows and books in bins but by creating this cozy space with bright colors and amazing storage, the students will be able to pursue their reading interest by making musical connections and read comfortably on a soft bench or a comfy beanbag of their choice. As a result the children will work best and encourage pursuing their love for reading.

Thank you for your support!
