LGBTQ+ Musical Storytime
Class experience
Welcome to LGBTQ+ Musical Storytime! During this ongoing class, students will explore gender identity, self-expression, love, family, and LGBTQ+ history through stories, music, and more. Each class will involve sing-a-long activities, a children's book read-aloud, guided discussions, and an interactive art or dance activity with a song by a Queer musician. Throughout the class, the topics covered will help students gain an understanding and appreciation for a diversity of identities under...
Teacher Janelle is a Queer educator with a BM in Music Education and over a decade of experience working in music classrooms with students ages 5-18.
Supplies used will vary week by week, but students should have the following available during this course: - Clothes that make you feel most like you! - Paper and crayons/markers/pencils - the more colors the better! - Scarf or other small piece of fabric to dance with (optional)
While all content will be directed in an age-appropriate way, there will be some themes discussed in class that may bring up challenging emotions for students. There will be mentions of the discrimination that people in the LGBTQ+ community have faced throughout history and continue to face today. You may look into the read-aloud books, "Stonewall: A Building. An Uprising. A Revolution" and "Pride: The Story of Harvey Milk and the Rainbow Flag" for an idea of the type of content that will be covered. I will be sure to monitor how students are coping with the content during class and I will guide students toward finding the hope, empowerment, change, and community in the stories and concepts we address. Additionally, students should have a safe space during class to move around, dance, etc.
