Funded Nov 23, 2020My students LOVE Music time with Mr. Cooper! Especially in these days of Distance Learning, it is wonderful to have a weekly activity that they can count on and look forward to. Mr. Cooper has a genuine connection and rapport with the students.
A highlight for me is how he gets the students to actively engage and sing and dance with him. A highlight for the students was when Mr. Cooper connected their singing of "This Land is Your Land" and "America the Beautiful" to the same songs being sung at the Presidential Inauguration on Jan. 20th by Jennifer Lopez. He also connected their singing of "We shall Overcome" to the song being sung at many Martin Luther King events including the "I have a Dream Speech" event in DC in 1968.
Lasting impacts include a love of music and dance, as well as a feeling of being connected to history.”
With gratitude,
Ms. Student
