Pencils for Beginner Musicians

Help me give my students pencils for their Band class to use daily for rehearsal and for assessments since our school is not able to provide them at this time.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

My students love to use their pencils during rehearsals. Even more, they love knowing they can come into my classroom to get a pencil to use for class. Such a simple supply yet so important for kids to use for Band.

When Band kids use pencils, they notate their music all over with helpful reminders that allows them to learn faster.

These reminders cut corners and allow students to advance their music knowledge from a simple pencil.

Every child needs the comfort knowing there is a pencil for them in my classroom daily so they feel prepared.
