Music Gems

Help me give my students a wonderful and fulfilling classroom experience. I always wanted things in my class that felt lively and relatable. Kids love lights color and interacting with objects.

My Project

One of the main objects on this list is the speaker and mic system. I would love to have these objects in my classroom to incorporate teaching speaking skills, singing, rapping, and poetry. Students usually never have a chance to express their talents directly in the classroom. I would love to give them the opportunity to become confident in front of their classmates and so that they can take this to the outside world. The printer is essential to printing music and class activities so that students have access to these things promptly. My goal is to see my new classroom come together as it is a brand new school for me and I don't have many resources as of yet. This is my first time working with middle schoolers and I want to get it right in the beginning. My students from what I have learned from other teachers is that they are grade driven. They are very serious about their academics and it would be a pleasure to add to their joy for school.
