When I turn the music on, students whose voices I have never heard are suddenly the loudest children in the room! Music does something to their souls! The students in my class range from 3 to 5 years old. Most of my preschoolers are children identified with a developmental delay in language, in addition to being English Language Learners. When the students started school in September, my classroom was the quietest classroom in the school. I realized fairly quickly, I better do something quick! So I turned on the music! It took awhile, but some of the students with minimal language started singing! My students live in a low socioeconomic neighborhood in the San Fernando Valley; our school is a Title 1 school (federally funded due to an impoverished community), and 100% of our students participate in the free lunch program. I want to engage my students through music and bring their language to life!
