Recording Projects for Earth Day 2024

My Project

My students and I have big plans for Earth Day 2024! I want to make sure we get started early and have all the equipment we'll need for that very special day in our near future.

Students will write songs, record podcasts, and tell stories celebrating our environment and climate.

I'm so excited to combine these two passions of mine and share them with my students. Imagine musical instruments made from recycled material and student podcasts describing the impact of climate change here in Chicago. All of this will be made possible with a classroom set of these wonderful usb microphones.
