Help me give my students specialized "Music-Go-Round" music dots to help us display elements of music quickly and clearly during our lessons.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
My students are highly motivated, highly diverse and highly dedicated to music and school. They love exploring sound and songs through our classes. They respect their equipment and love using the instruments and tools to further their learning.
My students work together in harmony to create harmony.
They explore our culture by singing and dancing to folk songs. They learn history through exploring the composers and their famous musical works. They learn about sound and instrumental technique by playing recorders, xylophones, drums and ukuleles.
My Project
Unfortunately, this year our music classroom is losing our beloved projector. Our entire district is moving towards TV screens to present digital content, but this proves to be a problem for our music classroom for a major reason: it takes away my students' ability to interact with the content! The screen will be mounted too high and will be too fragile to have my students tap and point to our material. Meanwhile, it takes a long time to write and re-write material on a dry erase board for each class.
Music-Go-Rounds may be the saving grace for our classroom!
These are large silicone clings printed with different elements of music - pitch, rhythms, dynamics, tempos, instruments, and more. The students and I can quickly manipulate these clings on a board faster than writing on a board, and can be set up for multiple classes throughout the day without taking away precious time from the students. We can also set up these Music-Go-Rounds for stations and small group learning. The students will be able to learn, interact, and compose in a lesson without missing a beat!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
