My Project

Let's can help make storytime come alive! I create storytime songs and add music to books. We also listen to calming music all day. I'd love to have a speaker so we can enjoy the music together. We'd love more drums so we can make more music!

We also create songs about books!

The shakers will help us all keep the beat. Creating songs has been a blast and encouraged students to love the Library !

Students love singing in the library. I love creating songs and sound effects for students to make reading come alive! The more music we create about books, the more ownership students feel in their Library!
