My Project

I teach music at two schools and need supplies for both (and need to write separate requests for each school).

Listen Up!

My students use laptops for learning and we need headphones to use in my classroom. Students use their laptops for extra practice learning about music and for assessment. Headphones provide them opportunity to work independently without distraction.

Toss it Up! Bean bags are great tools to work on coordination and can be used in so many class activities. The beanbags I selected are perfect for small hands to grasp and toss while keeping a steady beat and working on crossing the midline.
