Students learn best when they connect the arts to their learning. Music, composition, and movement help students understand concepts and retain their understanding. This is applied learning of academic topics through creative experience. These ukuleles will engage my students as they use music to compose and communicate their understanding of literature and math. Using basic chords and common childhood songs, students will create new lyrics that allow them to show their understanding of math concepts, reading comprehension, history and science. Making up their own lyrics and singing about multiplication and division to the tune of Old McDonald is just one example of the fun students will have as they make sense of a difficult concept. I have taken professional development that trained me to sing, play, write, teach and lead students in songs that guide learning across all content areas.
