My Project

Express Yourself is about how my students will be able to showcase their talents through music! They love to sing and dance watching YouTube videos! Whenever they hear music, they would sing and dance to anything. The Bose speaker will elevate and motivate them by the quality of the sound that Bose produces. Ed Hartman is very inspirational and teaches education through music and dance. My students enjoy watching and learning from his videos. With the Bose speaker, it will enhance the learning experience and make the sound more enjoyable. With the bowling set and Bingo, it will motivate the students to try their best and to never give up. The inflatable bowling set are large and about their size, which make it more fun. My goals for this project is for my students to work hard and become successful learners!
