My Students

Music. Singing. Dancing. Instruments. Playing. Moving. Learning. Fun. That's what happens in Ms. Sherer's music classroom every single day.

My students in the Ferguson-Florissant School District have a passion for music at very young ages, but have a very small space to learn in.

Our current music room has a rug with only 24 small squares to sit on. With an upwards of 30 students at a time, this makes for a very crammed learning environment with some students sitting on the tile floor, and some sitting in chairs.

My Project

Our current seating situation has focused on who gets to sit in the chairs, who has to sit on the cold, hard tile, and who has to be crammed on our current small rug.

This rug will not only create a sense of comfort, but will assist in classroom management as well.

Our current seating situation has focused on who gets to sit in the chairs, who has to sit on the cold, hard tile, and who has to be crammed on our current small rug.

By giving each student their own space to learn, work, and play in, they will be able to focus on what is being taught. Please help us purchase a new rug for our music room!
