My Project

My students are truly excited about learning. A karaoke machine will help them learn reading and math through song.

The karaoke machine will motivate my students and give them an fun learning environment.

The microphone will give them confidence to speak in front of others at an early age to be future leaders. I would love to combat the fear of public speaking and reading in front of others. Students love song and know every top 40 song on the radio. I'd love to implement that idea in the classroom.
