Are you interested in using brain-based learning in your classroom. Differentiated education is the key to success for so many students, but it's the key to having fun and retaining information in our class. Our classroom uses music to learn concepts in all different curriculum areas. We learn and kinds of writing and grammar tricks with songs. We sing about the Titanic, The Dirty Thirties, and King Tut. In science we sing to learn about the planets, oceans, cells, bones, etc... Math is great. Because of our songs, students are able to learn more difficult concepts with ease and greater retension. We sing about place value, adding and multiplying fractions, decimals, etc...The students love it and there is research to back up the millions of reason why you should add music in your teaching.
Music in The Ag Classroom is a cultimation of nearly 100 songs that we sing about agriculture and related subjects. We sing about where food comes from, farming, eating healthy foods, dirt, and planting gardens. We sing about bugs and where crops grow. We sing about farms on a mountain side and we sing about the watercycle. If you're in Baltimore, Maryland in June of 2010, stop by the national conference "Agriculture In the Classroom" and join us for a song.
Remember, when a child is singing words off a paper, they are reading...this is an awesome way to ignite students' reading and writing skills.
