Can you dance to WHO LET THE DOGS OUT? My kids can, but they also dance to WHO LET THE LETTERS OUT? where they sing the sound of the letters. What a great way to reinforce phonics! My class LOVES to sing and dance! Their eyes light up and their feet start to move when I reach for the CD player! I have a class of 18 amazing first graders eager to learn and play.

I have invested hundreds of dollars into music and story CDs for my class. I have tried different systems to organize the music but am frustrated because I can't easily grab the right CD. My CDs are getting scratched up as well. An IPOD would allow me to easily find the songs needed while keeping the CDs from getting scratched.

All kids love music! However, their are a few kids who find music the magic that helps them memorize difficult concepts. I have a large collection of music by Dr. Jean Feldman. She teaches the kids phonics skills, routines, math concepts, science,and social studies with her magic through music.

Please help us keep the music alive with an IPOD that will allow us to easily use the music daily. You probably still remember a song from your childhood you haven't heard in years. The music helps us to retain information much better than simply memorizing.
