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 Students
The famous deaf composer Ludwig van Beethoven wrote that "music is like a dream. One that I cannot hear." A strong-willed man, he persisted with his craft despite his disability and is now remembered as one of the greatest musicians of all time. Please help future musicians and music lovers overcome the obstacles facing them and achieve their highest musical potential!
Though often faced with financial and family insecurity, my middle-school students are bright, capable, and unbelievably big-hearted.
While many come from low-income urban households, they nonetheless enter my music classroom with positive attitudes and enthusiasm about learning.
Many of these young men and women dream of experiencing music, playing instruments, and performing for their communities. With your help, we can acquire the proper instruments and materials to achieve these dreams. The next generation of singers, dancers, performers, music makers, and music lovers is in my classroom right now. They just need your help to get there.
My Project
Whiteboards are a sorely needed resource in my music classroom, and will be used every single day. As students enter the room, they will grab a whiteboard and marker and answer a short review question (called a Do-Now). My students will hold up their boards, allowing me to quickly and efficiently gauge student understanding. The students will also have these whiteboards as a resource in other full-class participation activities.
With whiteboards in hand, every student will have an opportunity to demonstrate their understanding.
Best yet, using whiteboards instead of pencil and paper or notebooks is environmentally conscious, saving papers and our trees! Please consider donating, every dollar towards our goal is a dollar towards enriching the learning of my students.
