My students need tambourines and drum sticks for Kid Stix stations. When added to #10 can and a cutting board, these materials help to create a rhythm station for each student to jam with!
My school serves K-5 students from a variety of backgrounds. Many of the students in my school have at least one parent in the Military (predominately Marine Corp and Navy) because of our proximity to a military base. Because of this, our population tends to be very transient as students come and go based on military assignment locations. We are a Title I school, with about 40% of students qualifying for free or reduced price lunch. Our school is a themed elementary that focuses on building National Pride and Service to Others as core values.
My Project
We need tambourines and drum sticks for Kid Stix stations. When added to #10 can and a cutting board, these materials help to create a rhythm station for each student to jam with!
These stations will allow students to apply and practice the rhythms they learn in music class.
With these stations, the students will each have access to the the same set of instruments and will be able to actively engage in the music reading process and apply their learning in a hands-on way. The requested materials will be combined with materials already procured by the teacher (large cans and small cutting boards) to create these personalized stations for each student. These stations can be used with all of the students in the school and will provide a fun, creative way for students to engage in music making and music reading.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
