#1 Daily 5 Check In
My school has been focusing on Math and Writing workshops lately which mean students are getting accustomed to working in small groups without a teacher. I started looking into Learning Contracts as part of my Differentiation Instruction goal and love the possibilities for Recorder and iPad projects. This has become a great tool for me to know what students are working on and how many students are allowed to do each activity at a time. I can also preassign students as necessary!
#2 Cherie Herring's 18 Music Activities for Small Children (SMARTBoard)
Anytime I need a sub, I pull up Cherie Herring's SMARTBoard files. They are great for non-musical subs but are extremely musically engaging for the students. Each page is interactive and she has tons of little sound file surprises that the kids just love!
#3 Make Your Own Tubanos
I haven't tried this yet but I really really want to! Just gotta figure out where to get those tubes!
#4 Catch a Falling Star
So beautiful! This is my dream for my students. They are more than capable musicians, I just have to become a better teacher!
#5 Lapbook Templates/Glue Sponges
I couldn't pick just one more-but these two go together! I love lapbooks! Lots of information but all contained together. I made a lapbook for my recorder kids to take home so they always have the information they need. And Glue Sponges! OMG! Best idea in the entire interactive notebook/lapbook world. If you ever use glue in your classroom, you MUST try this! (really, 1353 pins on this glue sponge post!!)
