Tuning Into Learning: Music and Listening Tools for Little Learners
Help me give my students engaging tools to explore sound and storytelling.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Leda's classroom raised $874
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
I love how eager my students are to learn through play, movement, and music. They light up when exploring new sounds and expressing themselves creatively. This project will provide musical instruments and a listening center that support early language, listening, and social-emotional development for my special education students. These tools will help students improve coordination, follow directions, and work together. Music makes learning fun and meaningful, especially for young children. With these resources, my students will gain confidence, focus, and a love for learning that will benefit them throughout their educational journey.
More than half of students from low‑income households
