Materials for Magical Musicians

My students need materials to create magical musical instruments so they can march to their own beat!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Levin's classroom raised $585

This project is fully funded

My Students

I feel privileged to interact with a diverse group of young children. We have students of many races, ethnicities, and nationalities coming together in our classroom family. The children are intelligent and inquisitive. They are energetic and kind. This year we've named ourselves Eager Explorers because we are eagerly learning about and exploring our world together!

They are sponges for learning and the classroom environment and materials add to their experience!

Thank you for supporting these young students as they learn!

My Project

Our kids love to sing and dance and tap out beats. In our next study, we will work together to create musical instruments all our own from everyday objects.

We'll dream up drums and tambourines like the world had never seen!

This year we've seen that when the Eager Explorers are able to live up to their name the results are truly amazing!

In this study, we will use everyday and common objects to create sounds in new ways - from the expected to the unusual. What we can guarantee is it will be loud and it will be fun!
