*When I find a new piece of music, I must admit I get pretty excited.
*I saw a commercial the other week celebrating 75 years of the M&M.
*They happen to be one of my most favorite candies out there.
*After watching the "new" version of the song, I knew it was going to be a music Monday selection.
*This was our 24th Monday where we featured a musical selection.
*Each Monday I highlight a piece of music to share with my writers.
*We begin with showing a video that goes along with the musical selection.
*The class will watch the video between 1-2 times.
*After the second viewing, the writers begin to record their thoughts in the notebooks.
*As they write, I play the music in the background (minus the video).
*My fourth graders can record their thoughts, ideas, connections, likes/dislikes, or reactions to the song. They can also write about the message of the song.
*I have my students write between 5-10 minutes. At the end of our writing time, I see if a few of the writers would like to share what they wrote.
