PARENT RESOURCES:

Parents, do you have a hard time getting your child to complete their chores? This week we are focusing on music. Many teachers and specialist use rhythm and music to help children remember words, how to solve math problems, and to learn scientific formulas.

Music can also help kids remember when and how to do their chores.
