Here at Bryant, along with the regular music curriculum, 2nd graders also receive instruction in Humanities. Integrated into our daily lessons, humanities allows us to connect what we are learning in music class with the 2nd grade Science and Social Studies curriculum. Here are just some of the songs and activities we use to make connections between music and what they are learning in their classrooms.
This week we talked about how communities are places where we LIVE, WORK, PLAY and SOLVE PROBLEMS. Each class then brainstormed ways in which their music class is a community. We then listened to and sang a song by Ann Arbor native singer/songwriter, Joe Reilly.
