My Students

I teach 3-5 years old at Head Start. They are all special in they own way. You just never know what kind of ideas the children will come up with or what they might say. You just have to love this age of children. They are very quick to try an come of new ways to do things. The children need to be able to make music we need some different music instruments in our classroom. We have triangles, bells and sticks.

My Project

These instruments will give them so different ways to play music. Along with what we already have in the classroom. It with let them see how to.use different kinds of instruments. It will help they little minds grow. It is always said that children still need the arts in they lives at school. The children will enjoy making different kinds of music with all these new ones that we will have in the classroom. Please let my children have the joy of have music in their lives while they ate at school. This will help them grow into wonder people.
