My children are inquisitive, creative, and compassionate. They thrive on social interactions and hands-on activities that promote productive struggle. Our school is located in a predominantly rural, low-income neighborhood with a considerable portion of the children being of native Hawaiian and/or Pacific Island ancestry. Even with the financial challenges impacting their lives, my children want to come to school and are excited to learn. They possess invincible grit when tackling new projects. They truly light up my life!
COVID-19 has devastated our school community.
Normally, I am able to accept twenty children. This year, I am again limited to only ten, due to distancing issues. There are many procedures and protocols which need to be followed. Although things will still be out of the norm, I am determined to make the "new normal" an incredible learning experience for my precious children!
My Project
My children love to sing and dance to popular children's songs, island favorites, as well as hip-hop's newest craze. Having a working music system would allow me to effectively utilize music to motivate my students, reinforce skills being taught, and incorporate movement to strengthen their bodies and put smiles on their faces.
Music moves us physically, cognitively, and spiritually.
Music can relax a stressed out brain. Music creates a desired mood in the class. Music can also energize the tired body. It is an effective teaching tool in my class. Simply put, music inspires and rejuvenates my young learners. Help us bring music (we can count on) back into my class!
