Exploring Groovy Shapes in Kindergarten

Kindergarten Kids Learn About Music In A New Way...

Using the software program "Groovy Shapes" by Sibelius, the kindergarten kids are experiencing a new way of learning about the elements of music. They're learning a specific way of taking turns being at the Smart Board, and enjoy what seems more like a game!

Second Graders Begin Orchestra Instrument Family Unit

We will be using various resources to enhance learning.

On their iPads, second graders have the app called "Meet The Orchestra".

They are encouraged to explore the app on their own.

The Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra Instrument Safari

 This website presents the concept in an engaging and fun way.  

Students are welcome to explore this at home, and can register for a free account.

(Unfortunately because it uses Flash, it doesn't work on iPads)

By creating their own "secret name", password, and hint, students are able to experience all of this for themselves. This is an advantage because we take turns when we are learning as a class.
