My Students
My students live in a high poverty, urban area. They go to a community school where every child receives free breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Many of our students live in public housing, with relatives, or are homeless. Many of my students are second language learners. Many of the children do not have their needs met at home. This is often due to lack of finances, long work days, and everyday stress.
My students are excited to come to school and crave the routine of our school day.
One of the main focuses of our school is to integrate the arts into learning.
My Project
Children learn in many different ways. One way that children learn is through Music and Movement. Music and Movement activities keep children healthy. Children can learn about their bodies as they do activities that help with balance, strength and coordination. Music activities also expose children to academic concepts such as reading, letters, numbers, shapes, and colors.
This project will be used in a variety of ways:
.As a listening center for books or music
.Large group activities such as circle time and story time
.Gross Motor games indoors and outdoors
.To teach important academic concepts such as letters, letter sounds, and counting
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
