My Project

Pre-K kids love music and moving! As part of our required movement time, we live to use rhythm sticks to help with hand-eye/listening coordination. We currently have to share sticks and each student only gets one, some even use a chopstick, as there aren’t enough. Our CD player to play the music is also on the way out and skips and randomly shuts off. This really ruins the moment of fun when we have to improvise and try to sing the rest for them. Please help us to have music fun!
