And the Beat Goes On...

Submitted by angela.killian on

Jodi teaches mathematics, social studies, and science in the fourth grade.  She uses balance balls and drum sticks to reinforce mathematics through rhythm and movement and it is a fun instructional approach that produces results. These hands-on materials allow Mrs. McKee to combine physical education activities with the mathematics core standards.  The program is called Academic Beats.   This program is based on the philosophy that students learn by doing.
