Kim's Story "I started my career as a classroom teacher. I loved teaching first grade and would incorporate music on a daily basis. My class would sing our spelling words, clap out rhythms, and march around the room - all while learning. Many phonemic awareness activities involve music, and I found this to be a really fun and effective way to teach. When I earned my masters degree in "Integrating the Arts into the Elementary School Curriculum," I was convinced that music was a powerful teaching tool. I began teaching third grade and while becoming familiar with my new math curriculum, I discovered that I would be teaching the multiplication facts. What a challenge! I knew that using music and rhythm would make it fun and easy - so that's what I did. Karen and I worked together and wrote "Rap With The Facts." We recorded our first album with the help of Hal Wright, and that's how it all began!"
