My Project

I'm excited to share our project, designed for students aged 4-8, which focuses on making music and learning rhyming words. Our goal is to create a dynamic musical learning environment that combines the timeless charm of nursery rhymes with modern audio technology. This innovative approach will help foster early literacy, musical development, and creative expression during these critical formative years.

Children will have the opportunity to record their voices reciting and creating rhymes.

By listening back to their recordings, they can develop phonological awareness and enhance their speech patterns.

Thank you,

Ms. King
