APPOINTMENT CLOCK
• 1. Find someone you haven’t met yet. Have them sign
your 3:00 appointment time – you sign theirs.
• 2. Find someone else you aren’t terribly familiar with.
Have them sign your 6:00 appointment time – you sign
theirs.
• 3. Find someone else who you don’t know well. Have
them sign your 9:00 appointment time – you sign theirs.
• 4. Find someone who looks nice, who hasn’t already
signed your clock. Have them sign your 12:00
appointment time – you sign theirs.

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
ARTS CONNECTION
POEM WITH INSTRUMENTS
• Crescent Quarter Gibbous Full
• Looking at the moon is never dull
• Martha Avant, BTS Specialist, Davis District
Sung to the tune of: Oh My Darling Clementine
Oh the moon, we see it shining,
Like a sphere, it is so bright,
Cause the moon it is reflecting
Suns own beaming, streaming light
Moon’s appearance, it is lovely
While it hangs in our night sky,
And the moon it is rotating
On its axis as it flies
That old moon it likes to travel
Round our Earth so constantly
One full path around our Earth
Is called an orbit you will see
Oh the moon, it is much smaller
¾ smaller than our Earth,
And with craters its been covered
Since its airless, windless birth - repeat first stanza.
Leslie Bertram 2c 2013
MOONLIGHT SONATA &
CRAYON RESIST ART
• Materials: “Moonlight Sonata” by Beethoven,
• Art paper, Crayons, Paint Brushes, and water
colored blue by water colors.
• While the music plays and recalling what they have read,
students will Draw or trace a circle coloring with crayons ½
that resembles the Earth and ½ that resembles the Moon.
They may include other planets, stars etc.
• After they have colored their picture heavily and completely,
they will take some blue colored water and wash the entire
picture with it.
• They will attach their completed Diamonte Poem to the
painting
INCORPORATING

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

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.
