Sweet Sounds of Music

Help me give my students supplies for our choir! I use stickers to help students learn left and right, folders to organize their music, and storage containers to keep our supplies nice!

My Project

I always get great ideas from watching other teachers. Many of the activities I have been adding in include movement to keep kids engaged. I will use the rings to do rhythm movement games. I also need lots of storage for items for choir, like folders and fabric bags for various games. I would like to get some more stickers to help students learn left and right so they can hold their instruments correctly.

Making learning fun is the best way to help students learn.

These supplies many not seem like much, but the ability to give students an organized space helps students to feel comfortable and that they can rely on things to be there when they need them.

I appreciate the ability to continue to build an environment where learning can happen!
