My Project

I have recently started using these amazing songs during the day to help cue my students about when it is time to come to the carpet, head back to their seats, get ready for lunch, and line up. Not only do my kids love them but my voice is saved by the end of the day.

This year I have struggled with some impulsive behaviors in my class and I usually leave school each day struggling with little to no voice left.

I have recently discovered a new resource which retaught my students classroom expectations using these awesome songs. My kids are getting where they need to go faster and I am spending so much less time redirecting them.

The reason I am asking for the sound cue system is that currently I have linked each MP3 to specific slides in my daily Canvas slide show. It takes a lot of work and planning to make sure each MP3 is correct. Also if I need to replay a song as reminder it is not super easy to do. I would love this system so I can just play the music cues when needed at the press of a button.
