My Project

The beginning of the school year brings so much fun and joy to students. They are excited to be in a new grade and to learn new topics. In music students have fun with movement, dance, singing, and playing instruments. It is vital that the classroom is well stocked and ready to go on day one when they first arrive.

Drums, Markers, Hula hoops and tissues oh my!

These particular items will not only help in student developmental growth in music class, but they help to make the class more enjoyable. The drums and hula hoops are used for games and activities, the markers are important for students to create rhythms for the class to read and play, and who doesn't need tissue!
