More Than Just a Note: Music's Role in Promoting Literacy

Help me give my students books, CD players and headphones to embrace the art of music within their love for reading.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Frost's classroom raised $994

This project is fully funded

My Project

As a gifted teacher in a Title I school, I always want to give my students the opportunity to be exposed to as many ways to encourage learning as possible. It is my goal to inspire my students to be the best learners they can be, and music is one of the best ways to do that!

These supplies will allow me to incorporate music and literacy into my daily lessons.The students will have access to a variety of biographies about different music artists.

The portable CD players and flexible seating will give the students the option to sit in a place of their choice and listen to stories told through music.

My students deserve the very best each and every day, and this project will spark their love of learning!
