Through the study of cause & effect the third grade students developed an understanding of the Nomads need for a moveable home.  The students spent time researching  Nomads and Tepees.  A venn diagram was created in the program Kid Pix to compare and contrast “Hunters” and “Farmers”.

In third grade music, we have been studying form, specifically, AB, ABA, Rondo and Rounds.  After singing examples of each form and reading about them in our textbooks, we create a picture of one of the forms.  Using the PowerPoint program, we then label each section with a picture and then create our own piece using rhythm instruments.  The use of technology in this lesson is a fun way for students to create our own music and show that they have an understanding of the forms in music.
