My Project

I am super excited for my students this year for a new collaborative idea the Music teacher and I had for our 3rd Graders. Part of our standards of learning for our state is that 3rd Graders all learn how to play the recorder. As all these students get to keep their recorders at the end of the year, we thought the students would love it if they could personalize their recorders with paint pens and markers!

Can you imagine being a 3rd grader and being able to decorate your Recorders, and personalize it to represent you at this moment in time, nothing is better!

These requested materials will help us do just that for them!

As always, thank you for your support, as none of these more special projects could ever be possible with out your generous support.
