My Project

It's time to move, shake, and celebrate in silence! A silent disco allows me the opportunity to provide students with a fun and active experience. These headphone systems allow me the chance to motivate students to reach their personal goals that in turn will improve their learning. As they meet their goals they will have an opportunity to participate in a silent disco experience.

I know all these students here will certainly want to experience a silent disco!

Decorations are needed! They can enjoy Latin music samples during Hispanic Heritage Month, Winter Holiday music, story book Read Aloud, and Kids Bop Celebrations. This project will also be used to serve my English Language Learners and Migrant students in their social development and acquire language as they enjoy hearing, singing music, and language.

Mrs. Norton Norman S Weir Elementary School Grades 6-8

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
