My Project

We are looking to play, learn and perform outside during our sunny school days. By working outside and breathing in fresh air, we will develop skills to hold, practice and perform with the instruments which are on our wish list (tambourines, guitars, singing bowls, rainsticks, and recorders). Exploring different sounds. Strumming the guitars! Showing off our dance moves. Performing beats. Singing to the loudest song! You know you want to! We ask you to consider supporting our fun, crazy and loud lessons! Students from PRK to 5th grade will be able to use them during singing, making beats and performing solos for friends. The requested speaker will allow us to give direction and amplify the sounds students create.

Students love being outside.

Let's meet them halfway and bring the learning to life! Thank you for your consideration and let's bring on the fun!

Mrs. Marenger
Grades PreK-2
