Learning through Music and Crafts

Help me give my students a hands-on learning experience through music and crafts.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Dixon's classroom raised $669

My Project

Our pre-k classroom will enjoy many hours of learning from the hands-on experiences of music. Music can help children develop their memory skills by learning songs, dances, and patterns.

Using the xylophones will improve their cognitive development.

The music can stimulate the brain, which can improve memory, attention, and problem-solving skills. Another positive of having music in the classroom is that it can also help children develop patience, discipline, gross motor skills, auditory discrimination, cooperation, and cross-cultural awareness.

Music can also help children regulate their emotions and improve their mood to enhance their emotional development skills.

With that being said let’s jump into some topics that correlate with the items we are asking for.

With the new glue, we will be able to continue all the cool new projects we have planned for the remainder of the school year! With these new sets of dry-erase dice, my students will have a new variety of options for doing math. During their proposal play, independent work time, and nap time the bean bags would be available for my students to use in all different locations throughout the classroom.
