Science of Music has some great activities! A great way to get students to both make and appreciate at the same time. I can see both younger and older students getting enjoyment out of this site. I watched a music teacher use a similar program (need to download) which required students to not only mix sounds together but also choose sounds that fell on the same beat (perhaps a progression on the Science of Music activities). The kids loved sharing their final product with the class.
I'll definitely be bookmarking this one!
www.twinkl.co.uk is another new teaching resource site, definately worth checking out.
Thanks for the head's up on the summer reading program. I think that is great for kids that like to read. Maybe those students who are not so into reading will pick up on this, because everyone likes something for free.
Thanks for the head's up on the summer reading program. I think that is great for students who love to read. I am also hoping that students who are not real into reading may have some motivation to read more, because they will get something for nothing. Everyone loves to get free things.
