My Project

Not every student learns the same way. We all know that. As we continue our journey in Music classes, we understand and appreciate that all our students learn differently.

What better way for a student to save the planet while they answer questions, but on a white board?

Saves paper and Chromebook headaches! Every students loves to make noise, and with new rhythm sticks the noise will be joyful!

These requested supplies continue to help us reach ALL students, allowing them to express themselves the best ways they can! The best way to keep students involved is to make sure they all have the tools necessary to succeed!
