Music makes everything better. It can change our mood, it can give us energy, and get us moving. In this session, we'll discuss practical ideas on incorporating music into your classroom. From music cues that send signals to your students for transitions, theme songed activities,...to using a playlist of student walk up songs as your randomized student selector (Bye, Bye Popsicle Sticks!), to using some apps (mostly free) to get your students creating their own music and vibe! The social emotional benefit and therapeutic aspec of music is healing and we need as much of it in our lives and classrooms as possible..now more than ever. Music can be your co-teacher to build community as well as allowing students to share pieces of their identity with you and the their classmates. Attendees will leave with tons of resources plus a few Spotify playlists you can use tomorrow to start injecting some fun and you might even get your students dancing while they learn.
