My Students
As a teacher in a low-income/high poverty school district, my students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom. Despite the many challenges they face, I am looking to keep things fun and simple. I want to provide my students with creative and meaningful musical learning experiences.
My students are creative, talented, and very eager to learn.
They like to play instruments, they love to sing and love lots of positive attention. Many of them are being raised in single parent households and receive a free lunch based on their socioeconomic status. These things may prevent them from getting ahead early in life and may not provide them with the life experiences many of us see as "typical". From the minute they walk in the door of my classroom I focus on their potential and growth while they are with me. I may not be able to control their home lives; however, I can certainly control their experience during the school day. By doing this in a creative and positive way, I am hopeful to inspire even our earliest learners to continue on a path of musical excellence.
My Project
Our students are really getting into playing Orff Instruments (xylophones, glockenspiels, and metallophones). The music room is located on the opposite side of our school building. When it comes time for performance, we need an easy transport of the instruments so they will not be broken.
It's important to care for the instruments properly!
We need these rolling table top carts so that we can enjoy the ease of use in the classroom as well. Placing the instruments on the carts will allow for the students to play the instruments with proper technique and at the proper height. It also allows the classroom to be mobile to the stage and other venues. We love to perform and are excited about the opportunity to do so with these carts to help us!
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
