My Project

The students in my classroom are eager learners and they come from many different backgrounds. I want them to have the opportunity to experience music in a whole new way. The JBL Bluetooth speaker will provide good quality music for my students to listen to in the classroom and during outdoor play.

The bells, jinglebells, ribbons, and toys will help them feel and connect to the music.

Music helps in all academic areas. It helps them to focus, count, learn how to work with their peers and respect the talent of others in our classroom. The students in my classroom will be able to experience music from many different cultures which will help them appreciate people of many different backgrounds.
