My Students

Music is math. Music is science. Music is history. But most importantly, music is expression! It is an excellent way for my students to express themselves as it provides a sort of therapy to those experiencing traumas outside of school. The music classroom helps to heal, motivate and encourage our students while providing opportunities to experience all aspects of music including playing instruments, attending concerts and dancing.

I teach at a Title I school serving students from Pre-kindergarten through fifth grade where all of our students qualify for free meals.

Some students receive special education services including occupational, physical, and speech therapy, as well as Title I pull-out services for extra help with reading and math. Our school also has a dental clinic within the school where the children can get their teeth cleaned and be seen by a dentist.

Our school also offers an after-school program where students receive help with homework, can participate in activities such as dance or swimming, and sit down for dinner with their friends. At the after-school program, children can also attend counseling groups. Counseling is also offered throughout the school day with our school counselor and our community counseling partners.

My Project

Currently, our students are unable to check out books in media class, as well as, playing many of our instruments in music class. Our students love to read and love to learn and play instruments. We're looking for ways to make this possible.

These UV sanitizing wands will enable both myself and our media teacher to disinfect our larger books and instruments for student use.

Many of our books and instruments are larger and unable to withstand strong chemicals being used on them. Students do best with hands-on activities. Being able to check out a book to read will only reinforce skills and create a lifelong learner. Being able to play an instrument will also reinforce skills in music, as well as, math and motor skills.
