DEN Voices Connect

On the first day back from Christmas vacation the Third Graders shared some joy in music class while Skyping a classroom in the Midwest. They shared a question and answer session (Q: How cold is it there? A: -9 degrees) and then sang together. Mrs. O began the class by talking about how we all can be "Agents of Change" and reminding them of Monsignor Luca's words to them before we went on break that even the smallest actions can make each of us an instrument of peace. They sang, and danced, and shared the joy:

"We are the future,
We have the power,
We are the agents,
Agents of change!"

This project, better known as DEN Voices Connect, was created by members of the Discovery Educator Network (DEN) to encourage collaborative learning through music.

The project has approximately 9,400 students from 42 schools in 34 states, 7 countries and 4 continents.

The goal of this project is for every school or class to send in a video recording of their rendition of the song. The organizers will then mash them up into a virtual choir and publish the final video. Today’s classroom activity gave the children a collaborative practice session prior to recording our rendition of the song.
