My Students

I am a teacher because of the children in our community. The culture my students are raised with here on the island of Hawaii gives them a deep understanding of respect. Our rural community also creates inquisitive minds that want to learn more about this culture, as well as places they have never seen.

The past year of meeting on line at home has created large gaps in our students learning.

My students are resiliant and are working hard to overcome the deficit!

My Project

The ukulele is a part of our culture here in Hawai'i. Having these instruments in our classroom will give students access they may not otherwise have to learn how to play, and understand first hand how music is intertwined with culture.

The ukuleles will help improve students engagement in class in a fun and exciting way, while it will also help build the self-esteem that they need at this critical time of returning to school.

The benefits of bringing ukuleles into the classroom range from improved coordination to opportunities to learn teamwork.

As my students progress, they will be able to practice together which will help them practice socialization, which will enhance the environment of our classroom.
