My Students

I teach in rural Nevada. The school I am at provides a 100% free breakfast/lunch program. A large portion of my school is Hispanic, with many students being second language learners. My school is K-5. We have over 500 students attending our school. I have had the privilege of teaching music to them for 13 years now, after spending 16 years in the regular education program.

I am so excited to see what DonorsChoose.org can do for my music program in our era of Covid-19, which brings major changes to how I can teach.

My Project

Life is full of change and boy-oh-boy have we had a lot of change in life over the past few months. My teaching subject is Music! Music makes magic in the lives of children. However, with all of the cautions put in place to stem the spread of Covid19, my students will no longer be able to share instruments, sing, or dance!

This project is all about creating individual music kits for students to use without fear of spreading the virus, and keeping the magic in music!

These kits will include chopsticks to use as rhythm sticks, egg shakers for maracas, and beanbags for movement activities.

Please help me give music to my students! It will help them handle all of the changes they are facing in school. Music makes a difference!
