WHAT CAN BE LEARNED FROM RESEARCH ON MUSIC AND LEARNING Students need to experience and understand the developmentally appropriate building blocks of mathematics to insure academic success later on (NAEYC, 2007). Both music and mathematics have many connections, especially in patterning. Brain research indicates that music instruction prepares the brain for mathematics and reading instruction.

WHAT WE LEARNED CONTINUED Skill-building music instruction helps mathematical and reading ability. The brain benefits from music in ways that help mathematical and language arts understanding. Countries where music is an equal required part of curriculum have top ranking mathematics scores (Jenson, 2000).

WHAT WE LEARNED CONTINUED It is estimated that as many as 30 million students do not have an education that involves music. As budgets shrink music and arts programs are first to be cut (DiMaio, 2006).

MUSIC CONNECTIONS 4/4 Meter (4 beats repeated over and over) Beat (steady like a heart beat) Rhythm (usually fits with the words) Try each one out with body percussion as you: 1.Clap, snap, pat legs twice 2.Combine all three 3.Add instruments

SPEAKING AND LISTENING

WHERE IS THIS IN THE UTAH CORE? Page 24 – Anchor Standards for Speaking and Listening

SPEAKING AND LISTENING When I speak I share what I know in my head When I listen I add to my knowledge from what others have said

SPEAKING AND LISTENING The step that connects reading to writing is speaking and listening WritingSpeaking & ListeningReading

SPEAKING AND LISTENING Speaking and listening are incorporated through cooperative learning strategies.

BENEFITS OF COOPERATIVE LEARNING The benefits of cooperative learning are plentiful. One obvious benefit, of course, is that the kids themselves get to do the talking INSTEAD of the teacher. Promotes student learning and academic achievement Increases students' retention of material learned Enhances students' satisfaction with their learning experience Helps students develop skills in oral communication Promotes self-esteem

COOPERATIVE LEARNING STRATEGIES Read through the cooperative learning strategies Meet with your scheduled appointments 3:00 Appointment Share the cooperative learning strategies you currently use in your classroom and what makes them successful 6:00 Appointment Share at least one strategy you would like to incorporate this next year and how you think it will benefit your students 9:00 Appointment Discuss how you would explain the benefits of speaking and listening to a parent.

QUICK WRITE RULES You must write the whole time. If you can not think of anything to write, write, “I’m thinking, I’m thinking, etc.” ASSIGNED TOPIC How will the information gleaned from the two articles and your experiences over the last three days effect student learning in your classroom? Cite evidence and examples.

HOMEWORK Write at least two Level 3 questions for Each Kindness. Bring Unit 1 of your basal and/or a story you like to share with your students at the beginning of the school year.
