My Project

Teaching preschool is such an amazing adventure because the students are allowed to experience everything in fun, exciting, and new ways.

The 26 students in my classroom love to create their own music, songs, and dances every day.

But, with the limited amount of resources, we do not have enough musical instruments, such as rhythm sticks, scarves, or listening devices for all students to participate every time we create music in the classroom.

By funding this project you are allowing all students to participate in group music sessions in our classroom, leaving no one sad because everyone is participating
