My Students
I teach a five year old Kindergarten class in rural South Carolina. We are a Title One school with 93% of the Kindergarten students receiving free or reduced price lunches. A lot of our students come from single parent homes with high unemployment rates. My school's funds have been dramatically cut.
My kindergarten students do not get to go to music.
Their musical experience is based on what I do with them in class. I believe music is a great way to get students involved in learning. There are so many great songs for young learners. Songs that would reinforce the skills we cover in class. Songs that teach ABC’s, counting, rhyming, phonics, opposites and help with gross motor skills.
My Project
Music is a great motivator for young students. I love to use music frequently during the day. The tape player I use now is outdated and time consuming. It is hard to find the right place on the tape and because of this I would love to have an iPod Touch for my class. I could organize songs into skill categories and have them readily assessable on an iPod.
Your help with this project would assist my students in learning by moving and singing.
They would get exciting and fun reinforcement in the skills we cover over daily. Motivating music, singing and movement, what better way to engage a 5 year old? An iPod would also aid with time management for the teacher.
