My Students

Help my little dancers have more meaningful and memorable experiences while we dance together in music class! Colorful scarves, streamers, and ribbons will help us further explore music!

My students are in kindergarten through second grade and live in the urban community surrounding our public charter school.

Our students come to our school with unique needs, and we meet them by providing many opportunities for students to learn about our world. My students love coming to music class, and always share their enthusiasm for music with me in ways that inspire both me and the rest of our staff.

My Project

Having colorful manipulatives will enhance my students' experiences with music and movement. By having a piece of fabric to manipulate, the students can not only think about controlling their bodies, but can further explore movement by making their streamers or scarves "dance". These tools will also be very beneficial for my special needs students who often experience more success when they have a hands-on manipulative to work with. These materials can also be used during performances throughout the school year. I am always in search of new ways to excite my students and give them experiences to look forward to, and having ribbons, scarves, and streamers in the music room will surely push them to want to keep dancing!!

Help my students grow into lifelong appreciators and participants in the arts!

Providing these materials will provide six hundred students with an opportunity to explore music and movement in a new, fun, and memorable way!
