The microphones and speaker have added joy and fun to an environment that is often hardworking and can be stressful with the high standards and pressure the students feel on testing. \r\n\r\nSo far, we have used the speaker and microphones for a day of celebration that the kids earned. The classroom transformed quickly from quiet, calm and hard working to dancing, singing joyful kids.\r\n\r\nThe addition of music and singing has been a nice stress relieving activity for all of us. We can't wait to use them for the 2nd and 5th grade presentations that are coming up. Thanks again.
