Hello Alloway Creek Elementary School Students,
You can find your Art, Music, STEM, Physical Education, and Library class assignment and challenges by using the Seesaw App on your device or computer. The app is free and you can sign in at this link attached here.
The app requires a Text Code which was sent to you on class dojo. Use this text code. Should you not have a text code, please send an email to krapea@lasd.k12.pa.us and I will send you a code for your student. Please be sure to send me the name of the student.
Thanks in advance for your help and I hope to see you very soon!

IPad Apps in Music Class
Hello parents and guardians of students at Rolling Acres and Alloway Creek.
Many of you have been asking about the applications that we use in music class on our school iPad's so you can download them at home. Here are a list of the ones we use most often. I would love to have students downloading these at home and practicing their musical skills.
Tune Train- a Kindergarten and First Grade App where students compose their own songs. Click here for the link.
Rhythm Swing- this app is not free, but is amazing. Students battle a crocodile that tries to eat their monkey as they perform rhythms. Click here for the link.
NoteWorks- a great app to teach students about naming notes. I believe there is a free and purchase version availiable. Click here for the link.
Rhythm Cat- A great way to learn Rhythms. Click here to download.
Treble Cat- An app similar to Rhythm Cat, but with the treble clef notes. A great practice application for reading notes. Please click here.
Since we have IPads in the music classroom, I have only included links to the Apple Store for these applications. However, many or all of them may be available at Google Play. Here are a few of those apps that I could find- Treble Cat, Rhythm Cat, NoteWorks. There may be more musical applications on Google Play, but these are the ones I was able to locate.
As always, contact me if you have any questions. Thanks, Mr. Krape

Recorder Practice Links
Here are a few links that you can use to help you as you learn to play the recorder. One of the easiest resources to use is my wiki page which is linked here. You will find links to many videos that you can watch to learn how to play the recorder. Since all of the resources listed are from the internet, it would be a great idea to make sure your parents are with you and have given you permission to use the internet. In addition, Menchey music store in Hanover, PA is a great place to purchase a recorder. Their website is http://www.mencheymusic.com/ where you can find all the information that you need.
If you have any questions, please email me at krapea@lasd.k12.pa.us.

iPads at ACES
It is iPad time for students at Alloway Creek Elementary School. Students are learning about rhythms and are putting this knowledge into practice by using an application called Rhythm Cat. This tool helps students tap the rhythms in time with the music and teaches them to play in rhythm. The students are really enjoying this technology and are doing a great job caring for their devices and learning at the same time. Please check out my other blog posts for a list of apps that students can download.
