My Project

I am so excited to be building a new-to-me music room next year and that includes building a library of music picture books! I am excited to about "The Wheels on the Tuk Tuk" and "The Name Jar" as both will introduce my students to cultural elements they may be unfamiliar with.

I am also requesting several books focused on nursery rhymes in other languages!

I am excited to use the Spanish language books for our Hispanic Heritage program and the Chinese nursery rhyme book to introduce my students to new rhymes and rhythms!

Thank you for checking out this project!
