Music Moves Minds

Funded Dec 2, 2009

Thank you so much for donating to Music Moves Minds. My students love our new Dr. Jean CDs. Their favorite song is the Tooty-Ta. When we need a "brain break", we put on Dr. Jean for a little silly time. We sing and dance together. Then, the students reenter their assignments refreshed and ready to learn. We also enjoy the songs that correlate with what we are learning. They love Dr. Jean's song about the planets. We used that one during our recent space unit! I love using her website to learn movements to the songs that I teach to my students. Students learn so much more when they are up moving. Dr. Jean allows us to get up and move. We get to sing too which is great for my auditory learners. These wonderful CDs enhance learning for all styles of learners. They are great for students of all ages too. We have shared our new treasures with several other classes in our building. Everyone loves Dr. Jean! We especially have enjoyed having them on rainy spring days. When we can't go outside for recess, Dr. Jean comes to the rescue! Even on a cloudy day, students' faces light up!

We appreciate your kindness and are enjoying your wonderful gift everyday! We love learning new songs and dances. Thank you for making learning fun in our room! The music definitely helps move our bodies and minds!”
