My Students

I teach music to all of the students at my school. We sing and dance all day. It sure is fun. They vary in age, but music is forever.

My students do not know music as​ I do and I want to teach them the ways of music through instruments and sound.

Music is sweet to the ear, pure and peaceful. Students should experience music through play and sound.

My students vary from ages four to ten. They all come from a variety of homes and situations. My students need these materials to successfully accomplish real music comprehension and appreciation. My students are in need of many things, such as love, attention, and classroom materials. It is my goal to see to it that they are taken care of, as well as teach music.

My Project

These resources will assist student who are learning remotely. The materials requested in this project are trail mix, granola bars, plant based bars, apple sauce, juice, crackers, popcorn, pretzels etc.

Many of the students do not have snack time due to not having the snacks at home.

My mission with this project is to provide them with snack items that will help them to stay focused and on track for the rest of the school year. We have a built in snack time and many students are left out. I have been able to provide some relief before and I am hoping to do so again.
