Kindergarten VoiceThread

I love collaboration, and our half-day kindergarten teacher and our general music teacher and I put together a VoiceThread by the 23 students in the half-day kindergarten class. They learned the song "Down by the Bay" in music class, and then their classroom teacher had them write sentences that rhymed to complete a verse of the song, including an illustration of the sentence. She did a fabulous job of individualizing the task to each student's abilities, some just had to fill in rhyming words, while others wrote the whole sentence.

Once the papers were done, I scanned them and imported them into VoiceThread, then recorded each student saying their own sentence. I also recorded the class singing the whole song during their music class and included that singing at the beginning and end of the VoiceThread.

I am proud of our students and teachers, and hope to do even more collaborative projects like this next year.
