  • Making Music in PreK

    Funded Dec 14, 2023

    I cannot begin to thank you enough for your generous contributions to our classroom. My students were so excited when the boxes were delivered to our classroom and after we opened the boxes saw what was inside the excitement climbed even more!

    Our previous CD player died about a week before our new one arrived. We use music throughout the day and the children really missed this part of our activities. They were very excited when the new one arrived and we are very happy to have our music back again!

    My students love playing musical instruments and the xylophone is a great addition to our collection. They are enjoying exploring the different sounds it makes and are making up songs to go along with it!

    The foam building block are great and allow the children to use their imaginations to build different buildings. They need to use their thinking skills to decide how tall and wide their creations must be and it incorporates both math and engineering skills while they are creating their buildings. This is also a hit and has brought new life to our block area!
