My Project

My students are on the Autism Spectrum and often have a hard time expressing themselves socially and emotionally. But all my students love music. They love kids pop, GoNoodle, along with too many songs to list.

We need two microphones, TO BE KICKING IT LIVE!

Our cafeteria and gymnasium are currently wired for 3 Pin XLR microphones. The Bluetooth set will allow to keep the beat wirelessly. With this wonderful equipment, accompanied with our projector, it will allow our students to read along with music, like traditional karaoke. Along with a secret reading motivation booster.

Mr. Gaun PS M169 @ PS M102 Grades 3-5
