Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

My students are always ready to try new things! Their eagerness fuels my energy to teach with passion! Part of that is introducing new instruments to them and giving them the skills to be successful on them. Our new ukuleles are sitting in the closet waiting for the students to play them-- we just need a storage rack for students to use and keep them safe. Teaching students responsibility is part of learning a new instrument!

The Orff approach is our method of learning our classroom-- we sing, say, dance, play, and create EVERY DAY!

We are in need of several replacement parts and covers to make sure our instruments are taken care of properly. Additionally, our recorder unit could use some reviving with new songs and interactive lessons-- no more Hot Cross Buns in my class! Recorder Express is a great way to engage students in their learning. Along with the Holiday and Winter songs book, I know we will find new ways to learn!
