In all three of our preschool classrooms, we still have the old school CD/cassette players that my generation & the generation behind me grew up with. But, nobody has them anymore nor does any store still sell them anymore. They are officially a thing of the past. Yet, our school has not updated our D.J. equipment yet.
For music, the teacher has to use my D.J. equipment for the CD player and the other preschool teacher's D.J. equipment for the cassette player. This means, we use two boom boxes for preschool music class. Sad, but true...and a royal pain in the 'you know what'!
Before music class last week, one of my afternoon boys points to my 'boom box' (which was sitting on the floor next to me) and says in a serious/concerned tone, "Ms. Rich-or-son, that's the biggest boom box I ever seen." When our music teacher entered our room he said the same thing to her.
He's right! Who on Earth still has a boom box that plays CDs and cassettes? Where is the ipod and docking station?
