We're going to share our links and information on cross curricular education using music in the classroom at this site. We just don't have time within our time frame for all 27 of us...plus me...to share every week. All of us (and that does include me as well!) will be required to post something here to share. It can be a link to a website or a lesson plan or an idea you came up with on your own. The big thing is that you have something to share.

• Remember, you can only post a site once. Try to find something that no one else has shown. Maybe you will need to get creative because of this since we have so many students, but I really think that we can do it!

This site gives a lesson plan on how to connect music and poetry. "The students listen to poems read aloud and discuss the rhythm and sound of poetry. Students then perform poems using musical instruments to emphasize cadence."

I was intrigued during class when we were talking about Mrs. Nodeen's kids learning times tables from music. I struggled a lot in math when I was younger so I found this website to help kids with their times tables. There are serveral different raps and songs that you can access for the times tables.
