Music in the Classroom

Okay teachers, you have your desk setup,you have posters, calendars and artwork on the walls. You have thousands of worksheets, lesson plans, your teachers manuals are all bolded with yellow highlighter. You have a big bowl of candy, extra pencils sharpened, a nice big new stapler and a picture of you family on the desk. Your ready to go right?! Well maybe, you might want to consider one extra tool for your classroom instruction, a nice CD player and plenty of educational music to go with it.
Studys have shown that students, especially elementary age, absolutely love learning though music and songs. Not to mention, it makes the classroom setting a lot less mundane, keeps the kids moving and thinking, and makes the day seem to go a lot faster for teachers.
A really good place to start and a great place to find such materials is on the internet. You'll find many companies offer subjects such as: Phonics, States and Capitals, Addtion and Multiplication and a lot more.
Take the time to explore music in the classroom, it will be well worth it.
