Singing a Different Tune

As I have talked about in many of my blog entries as a teacher we need to teach the whole child, this means we have to teach the whole curriculum. But, you may say I just don't have enough time to teach music, PE, or art. What if you integrate these into your curriculum? Here are some ideas for integrating music into your elementary curriculum.
You can integrate music in your classroom by letting children listen to tunes while doing homework, you can have music to integrate culture. National Geographic has some really neat ethnic music that you can listen to and bring into your classroom. Don't let yourself be limited by these ideas go out and integrate music in your classroom. The secret to teaching the whole curriculum and the whole child is to integrate.

Here is a lesson plan from UEN if you feel brave and what a more complex music lesson.
