MUSIC
By Abby

Clip to ScrapBook   
Hi. Last year, we always had music on. I usually played piano music by George Winston or some of the other classics like the others mentioned. Music became a part of our QUIET Free Writing Time. Our motto, "When the music
starts, the voices stop." I would also check out cultural music from the public library. My kids especially love Japanese Meditation music during writing. The library had so many styles/cultural music and I made sure to get music from all the cultures represented in our class and many that were not. Some of my kids were surprised how they really enjoyed music from other cultures.
And of course at times, we did play "Who Let The Dogs Out" (usually Friday afternoons to wind down the week---we all would dance and have fun). Check out music stores with a used CD/Tape section. The relaxing , quiet type music is usually VERY CHEAP! Enjoy!!!
