Music Needs for Little Wildcats

Help me give my students more instrument resources to use in their first music classes!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Gunnels's classroom raised $252

My Project

I'm hoping to use the items in this project to help my students have new opportunities in music class. The ukulele stand will hold the classroom instrument that is played for our welcome song. The snark tuner will be used to tune the 25 Tinkertar instruments in the room that will need tuned before being played.

I'm really excited to use music class to help teach students responsibility.

There are classroom jobs in my room and this year I am revamping them using some of the items in this project. The desk bells will be used to help hold students accountable with expectations. The guiro will be used to help students line up when class is over.

I'm hoping to build more opportunities for students to take ownership of their actions and build in music as a tool for students to use.
