Groovin' to the Beat

Help me give my students instruments and an Echo Dot with Alexa for our music interest area and our whole group music time.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Keonna's classroom raised $174

This project is fully funded

My Project

Our music interest area needs an actual musical device that my students can listen to and hear the rhythms and beats, an item they can sing and dance with. With sn Echo Dot, they can use their imagination to play instruments and follow the beat and rhythm of a song.

I am hoping to use this device to aid in musical learning and to help make transitions easier for the kids in my class.

My kids truly love learning through music. I try to incorporate different songs and movements into my teaching as much as possible.

My students are special because they LOVE music! I think this item would be something that would get their attention more and increase their interests and learning.
