YouTube has been a great source of entertainment for me for the past few years.
I use it to look at music videos, clips from some of my favorite shows, and
sports clips. I have just recently discovered the many how to videos on the

work...imagine that!!!

and videos provided by YouTube to supplement my lessons. Amazingly small
children learn best when music is available. I always found the alphabet songs
that teach the alphabet, sounds, and object were great. One of my favorites is

I am a wife, mother, soldier, and student. I am presently attending APSU pursuing a MAT in Special Education. I am very interested in teaching K-6 students with Learning Disabilities. I anxiously await my retirement from the military and my future endeavors in teaching.
