My Students

As a teacher in a low-income/high poverty school district, I know my students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom. Despite the many challenges they face, I am looking to keep things simple and provide my students with creative and meaningful learning experiences.

After a successful first year at Roosevelt, I am looking to continue to build the music program.

I was fortunate enough to have many generous donors donate to my projects last year. I am looking ahead for this upcoming school year, hoping to continue to grow Roosevelt's music program!

My Project

My students need basic supplies for the start of our school year. We need scissors and glue to work on projects. We need dice to play educational games and for dancing activities. I would also like these books for my classroom to give me fresh ideas. The Beatbox book is a fantastic way to get my students making their own beats... which they already love to do! The listening activity book helps expose students to different genres of music. It is important for them to appreciate all different kinds of music. The Orff book will help me plan lessons for the new xylophones!

My students deserve the best and I know that this supplies will help them have a great school year!
