Have you noticed math in the music you love?  Thanks to our amazing START volunteers, we are noticing more and more musical math patterns.

We got to experience an instrument most of us have never seen up close.  Comment if you know what it is!

We tried out all sorts of patterns with quarter notes, half notes, whole notes, and eighth notes.  The third graders made some fabulous connections with our current fraction unit.

START coordinator Mary Gaetz was visiting and commented that our class “is fearless, plunging enthusiastically into new learning!” What a compliment!  For many, parts of the note reading activities were new and challenging, and it was so encouraging to hear that we are living out our growth mindset strategies in visible ways!

Each group had the opportunity to write their own song and perform it with all sorts of instruments!

As we joke every day, “Math is everywhere!”
