... and really helps students remember information more readily!
How many of you can still sing a commercial jingle from your childhood? Amazing, isn't it? Music accesses multiple areas of brain so when we learn a song we are using more of our brain than if we just memorize a poem or math facts. However, if we add music to memorizing that poem or those facts our brains will store the words more readily, the information moves into our long term memory. Because of this, I often try to add songs to Science, Religion, or Language Arts class to help our students remember important (and often challenging) information.
Here are a few songs we've already learned this year. You might recognize one or two.
Stop back again as I'll be adding more as the year goes on!
