Musical Early Learning

Help me give my students a new working boom box capable of Bluetooth connection and CDs to facilitate early learning through music.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Norton's classroom raised $476

My Project

Music is at the heart of every early childhood education environment.

From the calming music when we enter in the morning to the goodbye songs we sing at dismissal, these are the sounds of the young.

Like the soundtrack to your favorite movie, music is in everything we do.

Our beloved boombox will no longer power on and cannot be repaired. We are longing to shake our sillies out and wiggle our waggles away.

The eager early learners in my pre-k class are tuned into learning through music and movement. Please help us find our rhythm and tempo again.
