The scarves, flameless candles, and other performance materials from this project are giving our young musicians new ways to experience and express the music they are learning. These materials allow us to incorporate movement and visual elements into our songs, making rehearsals more engaging and giving every student an opportunity to participate in creating a special performance.\r\n\r\nOur kindergarten, first-grade, and second-grade students are currently busy learning their winter concert music. They love when we begin adding movement and props to the songs they have been practicing! These elements help students connect movement with musical concepts such as beat, rhythm, form, and expression while also building the confidence and teamwork needed to perform together.\r\n\r\nOver the coming weeks, we will continue rehearsing and adding the finishing touches to each performance as we prepare to share our winter concert with our families and school community.

Having enough recorders available means that every student can participate alongside their classmates, regardless of whether their family is able to purchase an instrument for them.\r\n\r\nOur fourth- and fifth-grade students are using the recorders to learn proper playing technique, read music, and perform songs independently and as an ensemble. Students especially love working through our recorder challenges and progressing to increasingly difficult music as their skills grow. There is always excitement when a student realizes that something that was difficult at first has become a song they can successfully play!\r\n\r\nThroughout the year, students will continue building their recorder skills, learning new notes and more challenging songs while working toward their next achievement. These instruments will also remain in our music program for future classes of young musicians to enjoy.

Instead of instruments taking up valuable classroom space or being difficult to access, our ukuleles now have a designated place where they can be safely stored between classes.\r\n\r\nOur third-grade students are especially excited to continue developing their ukulele skills this year. They are learning how to hold and care for their instruments, play chords, strum with a steady beat, and eventually use those skills to perform songs. Having our ukuleles organized and easily accessible helps us transition into playing more quickly, which means students get to spend more of their music class actually making music.\r\n\r\nAs the year continues, students will build their skills by learning additional chords, playing increasingly challenging songs, and working toward greater independence as young musicians.

Thanks to the incredible support of our donors, our students now have a welcoming and functional space where they can sit comfortably while singing, playing instruments, reading music, and learning together.\r\n\r\nThe students were so excited to see the new chairs arrive and become part of our classroom. We use them every day, and they have made a noticeable difference in how easily we can transition between activities. Students can sit together for instruction and music-making, and the chairs can be moved when we need additional space for movement, instruments, and other hands-on activities.\r\n\r\nThis year, our students will use this improved classroom space as they continue developing their musical skills through singing, movement, percussion instruments, ukuleles, recorders, and concert preparation.

These chair storage carts make it much easier to transform our classroom quickly and safely.\r\n\r\nMy students have been so excited about all of the improvements happening in our music room. Having a designated way to move and store our chairs keeps the room more organized and gives students more space to learn and make music. It also means we can spend less of our limited class time rearranging furniture and more time singing, playing instruments, moving, and creating together.\r\n\r\nThroughout this school year, students will continue using our flexible classroom space for ukuleles, recorders, percussion instruments, movement activities, concert preparation, and much more.

Our world as we know it is a vast technological sea, with so much to explore, learn, and conquer as we move through our day-to-day lives. As a STEAM teacher, that is where I come in to teach students just how to navigate and use technology in a safe, beneficial way.\r\n\r\nIn STEAM, we focus on technology based subjects; online safety, typing, coding, robotics, careers within technology based fields - all of this is done in a hands-on approach. Where students are taking the lead in their learning, and because of this, there is a lot of independent work to be done. That is where the headphones come into play in assisting my students with their learning in STEAM. This is my first year teaching, and I took over a position from a teacher who had left, leaving me with all the materials to sort through. When I came across our old headphones, I was shocked to see just how dated they were, and having students attempt to use them often ended in frustration and failure of the technology due to its age. That is when i decided that something needed to be done so that my students did not have the barrier of aged or broken technology standing in their way of learning. \r\n\r\nFirstly, the students love that they get to pick a color for their headphones, you'd be surprised how many think that the \"purple ones work better\" in reality it just is their favorite color. It has been especially cool to see students utilizing them with our coding activities, in a recent activity students were able to create music in a sound-mixer utilizing coding structures. It was amazing to see just how much they loved creating songs, sharing them, and taking such time in understanding the sounds they were hearing. Because of those headphones, and that very activity, I have a 5th Grader who before was not very interested in coding - and now, since our Music Lab activity has found a love for music creation. Even going as far as sharing with me that he thinks this could be a career in his future and he has hopes for taking coding classes in Middle School next year. \r\n\r\nWhile some may look at headphones and think nothing of it, our students at Webb Elementary have lit up at the chance to use them. It truly is amazing how much impact a single item can have on a students perspective of learning.
