These items will help young bodies get moving and help promote a healthy lifestyle through exercise. My students like music but lack the tools to make their own. The CD will help us learn the alphabet and get moving in a fun way. In our classroom we have three children with special needs and the materials I am requesting will provide them with unlimited opportunities to express themselves through music. The blue tooth speaker will provide the sound quality needed to ensure that all children are able to listen to the music and follow along. The shake and move rhythm bells will provide the children with a fun opportunity to move to music that they make. The Rhythm sticks will provide endless activities to help with learning music and making smooth transitions between activities. Thank you for taking the time to learn about my students and the needs of our classroom.
