Teaching Music Interactively!
 
Making Music Fun!"Making Music Fun is a FREE site that teaches children to love music. They use games, offer sheet music to print out, composer biographies, and much more! They even offer a directory of teachers that provide private lessons and the states they're located in. The games are geared towards teaching children to read music and to recognize rhythms. Along with the sheet music, you can print out worksheets, awards, practice charts, and manuscript paper."

Travel Back Through Time!
 
Tenement Museum"The Tenement Museum site allows you to travel back in time and see what life was like for immigrants coming to the United States during the late 1800s/early 1900s. Many of these immigrants made their first American homes in tenements. With engaging interactives and lesson plans, you'll quickly learn just how important a part of history this is-you may even get in touch with your own immigrant ancestor's experiences by developing a feel for what they may have went through in their quest to a better life."

Our Next "Wednesday Winner's" Prize

On Wednesday September 9, 2009 we will randomly draw a name from our list of email newsletter subscribers and the lucky winner will receive...


Susan Marlow's Andrea Carter and the Long Ride Home + Lapbook
(Value: $25)





Description of the first book of the Circle C Adventures series for kids, Andrea Carter and the Long Ride Home:

In book 1, Long Ride Home, Andi's poor choices plunge her into danger when she takes her horse Taffy and leaves her home on the Circle C ranch.

Andrea "Andi" Carter never tries to get into trouble, but somehow it always manages to find her. Living on the Circle C ranch near Fresno, California, in the 1880s--the heyday of the Old West--provides Andi with more than her fair share of adventures. Whether nearly trampling her schoolmaster on her palomino horse, Taffy, or outwitting an escaped convict, Andi's life is never boring. Her hair-raising escapades always end up teaching her valuable lessons about life, friends, and family.


Description of lapbook:
Lapbook
Tie in history and literature to the Circle C Adventures by using lapbooks by A Journey Through Learning.

www.AJourneyThroughLearning.com

Each lapbook is made using three colorful file folders. The packet includes everything students need to create the lapbook: study guides, full-color pictures for the mini-booklets, the file folders, and detailed instructions on how to put them together. Lapbooks take about a month to complete.
