Music and Memory

Help me give my students a new and improved music center. We really don't have much in the music center for the students to play with. I thought a listening station will help them be engaged.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

My class is in dire need of a new and improved music station. We only have four things in it. I was hoping to get something to make it more appealing for the students to go to. So I thought a Mobile Listening & Storage Center and some fun games can make the students use it. I feel that music is important for children it helps them with their memory.

Evidence suggests that listening to music may help brain cells process information more efficiently and may facilitate the brain’s ability to adapt.

Some children do learn from songs. They are catchy and they all have fun but I do believe that the mental processes involved in knitting individual sounds together into the overall perception of a song is quite similar to the process the brain goes through in reading, which involves first recognizing individual letters and sounds and then ultimately gleaning meaning from sentences and paragraphs. I know my kids won't be reading paragraphs or books but they can start with a sound. Help me make that happen. My students will really appreciate it.
