Singing and Reading

Help me give my students books to read and a way to organize them!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Knight's classroom raised $385

My Project

Please consider donating money towards books for my music classroom. I have been trying to incorporate more reading into my classroom especially with my youngest students. They love to read. I do not want this to take away form their music learning so each book that I have selected will add to my singable book collection.

My youngest and most challenging students love to be read to.

It is a great way to wind them down after an exciting, loud, and dance filled music class. This allows them to be ready to leave and learn with their teacher for the rest of the day. Included in my cart are many books and ways to organize them by grade level appropriateness. Each color corresponds with a different level and allows the students, and me, to know quickly where to grab a book or other music materials.
