Day 22: Melodies and Harmonies

Music with Sylvia today was enlightening. I learned so many new songs and had several insights into classroom management.
Sylvia taught 2-4th graders and they all loved to sing with her. I think all children love to sing. She spoke to them in English at a normal pace, but used a lot of hand motions. I think those hand motions are what helped the students to understand.

I am very excited to bring music into the education of my students. There are so many songs available on Youtube and through other resources, I could even make some of my own if I wanted to. Music is a powerful way to teach and a wonderful way to help the students learn what they need to learn.
