Spotify! This is Us! 3-200 24/25

 

September 27, 2024 Dear Parents/Guardian,

Building a sense of community in our classroom encourages students to be active members of their own learning. One way I found to be a very effective way to build a classroom community is through music. Music is a universal language that breaks down barriers and improves cognitive development, improves memory and makes learning a new language a little less difficult.

I use a lot of music in the class, and I would like to create a playlist on Spotify (a free downloadable application) to represent who we are. Therefore, I would like suggestions of songs your child likes to sing (in any language) and I will create a playlist with these songs.

It is extremely important that the songs do not contain language or innuendoes that is not appropriate for a child. Once you give me the name of the song and the author, I will ensure that it is an appropriate song and then place it in our Spotify Playlist.

There are currently three songs in the playlist, two we have already learned, and one is my favorite song. If you have Spotify downloaded, look for Ms. Grasso playlist titled, “This is Us! 3-200 24/25”. Please DO NOT add songs to the playlist

Thank you.
