What Music Goal could you s

Here’s a few posts on The Educators’ Spin On I that we’ve shared with our readers of how to incorperate music at home.

• Making your Own Instruments from Recyled Containers
  
• Outdoor Music Station

And then this is one of those times when it’s super hot outside or raining and lightening that you can play a movement video game. The
Just Dance Kids video games are super fun to do with just one child of or quite a few!

So what are you waiting for, get up a DANCE, SIGN and MAKE MUSIC!

We’re looking forward to seeing what you share this week!
