My students enter the music classroom 1-2 times a week for a total of 60 minutes per week. They enter ready to explore learning in a different way than the usual classroom experience. These students need the break from their regular learning experiences. They need to free their brains and have a break while at the same time learning about music.
The work of children is play.
- Carl Orff
I believe this is true, and we see it every day. Children learn how to cooperate, care, lead, follow, and be the best person they can be every time they play and work with others.
My Project
There are not enough hours in the day for me to create resources to educate and spark the joy of learning for all learners in K-5 music. Teachers Pay Teachers is an excellent way to purchase creative hands-on resources for students to learn about music of old and to create their own music.
Students need multiple ways to learn and to be inspired.
These resources will provide for my visual learners who need something tangible to increase their understanding of our musical ideas. Resources from TPT will allow me to reach more students and to purchase meaningful extensions to our musical units. Plus, this project will provide the students with Kleenexes outside their regular classroom.
