Music Themed Celebration!

Help me give my students an amazing return to school music themed celebration!

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Whitehead's classroom raised $181

This project is fully funded

My Students

I teach music to all of the students at my school. We sing and dance all day. It sure is fun. They vary in age, but music is forever.

My students do not know music as​ I do and I want to teach them the ways of music through instruments and sound.

Music is sweet to the ear, pure and peaceful. Students should experience music through play and sound.

My students vary from ages four to ten. They all come from a variety of homes and situations. My students need these materials to successfully accomplish real music comprehension and appreciation. My students are in need of many things, such as love, attention, and classroom materials. It is my goal to see to it that they are taken care of, as well as taught music.

My Project

I want music to stay alive even during the hybrid learning style. Some children will be at home, and some will return to the school building. The mission of this project is to provide students a music-themed spectacular!

The students would be provided a music-themed celebration with goodies and decor!

The students will experience music-themed treats and different genres of music as they celebrate the return to class. They will use the plates for the pizza, one student will receive a music-themed cup from winning a music trivia game. Students will appreciate the music-themed class decor throughout the school year. The wipes and paper towels are for keeping the room clean before and after the celebration. The hand sanitizer is to be available to ensure safety measures are in place during the event.

I am excited about starting this project as it will assist me along with the other items that I am providing for the student. I have music-themed bags and music-themed candy already. The students will also get pizza and a drink. The children will benefit from these materials as they will celebrate music and the return to the classroom.
