My Project

Newcomer schools across the country serve some of the most fragile students in our schools. Many of these students have already struggled through circumstances we all wish no children had to endure. And when they start school in the United States, while language can be the biggest obstacle for them, there are typically many other barriers that can get in their way as well.

Students at our school have all been in our country for less than a year and they are at our school because they speak little to no English.

While teaching them to speak English, we also teach them content such as math, science, social studies, music, art, PE, etc. Our students ​love learning, just like all children do, and we are always on the lookout for more ways to support them in their learning.

When our students come to music class, they find that music truly is a universal language. They love my class where I focus on instruments such as ukulele, piano, drum set, guitar, bass, and singing.

I am a trained Little Kids Rock teacher, so my goal is for them to experience being a musician and playing in bands where they can try out all instruments, as well as singing. We do a lot of guitar playing and a lot of singing, and we need guitar stands and mic stands to keep our instruments safe and my students rockin'!
