Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

When my youngest musicians enter my classroom for the first time, they are filled with curiosity and wonder. Everything is new and exciting. Keeping that momentum going throughout the semester, while directing their energy, requires multiple activities throughout each lesson. One of their favorite activities is to sing a book. Whether they are singing a tiny melody at specific places cued by myself, or singing an entire chorus at the end of each verse of the story, my littles are actively engaged and can recall every detail of the book.

This project provides my students with books that we can learn musical concepts from while celebrating the seasons from October through January.

Thank you for your interest in my project and for supporting my students.
