Help Us Get Organized In The Music Room

My students need a better system for organizing our papers and projects in the classroom, including two shelves and labels.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Fowler's classroom raised $183

This project is fully funded

My Students

My students love music! They have great attitudes and work very hard. Our music classroom is based on academics. We do written work/assessments in addition to traditional music assessments. With 23 large classes of students, we need a better system for organizing their projects and written work.

I teach music at a very diverse Title I school in South Carolina.

I teach a total of 23 classes in grades K - 5 (including special education students mainstreamed into kindergarten) in music and strive to give the best music education to each child every day!

My Project

The shelving system and labels requested in this proposal will help all 500 of my students to learn about organization. When projects or papers are turned in, students will know exactly where their "mailbox" is in the music room. Being organized will also help me to grade and return papers to the students in a more timely manner. This will allow us to quickly analyze which skills need more practice and where the instruction should head next.

This is a relatively small project on Donorschoose but it will impact all 500 of my students.

It will continue to impact THOUSANDS of students over the years to come. Music and the arts are a vital part of the development and education of children. Please consider making a small donation which will touch so many children.
