My Students

I want my classroom to be alive with "The Sound of Music!"

I teach a group of 20 Kindergarten students in a great area of South Carolina.

We are in a neighborhood school where many children can walk to and from school each day. Many parents work to provide their children with as many opportunities as possible. We are in the fastest growing area of our state and classroom sizes continue to grow! Because of this, the children seem to visit their related arts (music, art, library) less and less each year. The more crowded we get...the more spread out extra-curricular activities become. Children at this age are so musically in tune and learn best when any kind of information is set to a fluent tune. I am requesting a collection of learning CDs to play for my students. I know they would benefit greatly from this!

My Project

Please generously donate to this project and help me provide a new "tune" for my students to learn by. They are enthusiastic and more willing to participate when any kind of music comes on and I can only imagine how their fluency in reading will grow because of this project too!

Please help me integrate music into learning in my classroom as the children's time in music class dwindles away slowly.

Help me keep them enthusiastic about learning! There is no doubt that many children come alive when their favorite song is being played and I want my classroom to come ALIVE with this project, too!
