Jumping on a trampoline is just plain fun. Learning and fun go together when we jump to learn.
I have been reviewing notes while jumping this week. The motion has been proven to enhance learning. I start with setting a steady jumping beat, 1-2-3-4- then move a black note disk around the staff. My students say the note on the beat.
Along with note reading practice, the steady bouncing strengthens my students sense of beat. So who has a trampoline around?
Here is an update on our Ice-Cream Challenge.
