Help me give my students an iPad so I can connect with their classroom SMARTboards and have students engage with music apps and musical notation.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Trindle's classroom raised $491

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
My students attend a public kindergarten through eighth grade school in a high-poverty, urban community in New Jersey. They love music class and are great musicians. Even though we don't have a budget for new materials, we find creative ways to make music together.
My kindergarten and first grade students are in a separate building without a music room so I go into their classrooms to teach music, bringing only the supplies I can carry with me.
At the most, I can bring my guitar on my back and a bag filled with books or basic percussion instruments but what I can expose them to is limited due to my lack of a classroom in their building.
My Project
If my school received this iPad and protective cover, I would be able to download materials and then connect to the SMARTboards in each of the kindergarten and first grade classrooms. I currently cannot use these SMARTbaords because the classroom teachers are using the computers connected to them during their music time.
An iPad would give me the ability to expose my kindergarten and first grade students to music games, apps, and notation while they learned to read music and play instruments.
I would be able to expose them to a much broader variety of music and enrich so many of my lessons.
