My Project

In music class, my students will experience literature and storytelling through instrument, movement, and vocal exploration. Each of these books offers experiences for multiple grade levels, ethnic diversity, social emotional learning, and modes of learning.

The students will use the manipulatives to work on dexterity and creativity.

Older students especially will be challenged by using the chains to work on hand-eye coordination. The felt will be cut into different shapes for lower grades to use as manipulatives in multiple activities.

Give my students the love of literature and creative fun with these materials!
