Music

I teach fourth grade also, and use classical music on a daily basis. The music is constantly on all day, but I turn the volume to "mute" when I am talking/teaching and while others are presenting projects to the class. | I leave it on for morning work, writing, morning meeting, math work, group work, snack, end of day, independent reading time (SSR), you name it! My kids really enjoy it, and even bring in their own CD's to listen to! Mind you, the volume is never overly loud, and my students know they can turn it down if it is causing a distraction...none have done this! Some of my favorites include Baby | |
Needs Bach, Beethoven for Babies, Mozart Effect for Children, Baby's First Classic, Vivaldi, etc. During clean up time we listen to disco (which the kids know and love) and also new popular artists. I make sure I listen to the lyrics of EACH song before my students hear it so I know it's appropriate for them, and like the previous poster, I NEVER put on the radio for fear of what the DJ's will say! Hope this helps!
