What do we do in Music?

Here's a short prezi about what each grade level does throughout the year in my class. I will also have this presentation playing at meet the teacher night and open house.

I Can!

Hey there!

Today I am getting all of my lesson plans and unit plans ready for our music curriculum this year. My first step is to check out the state standards and make "I Can Statements". These statements help me plan all of my lessons throughout the year and will be posted in our classroom and checked off as we complete them. Check out your child's grade level and what they will be assessed on in music this year.

Music Rules

It's back to school time and I am busy getting ready for all of you to come back to school. One thing that I think about a lot when getting ready to see you is how we will go over our classroom rules and procedures.

Our music classroom rules are:

1. Follow directions quickly.

2. Raise your hand for permission to speak.

3. Raise you hand to leave your seat.

4. Make smart choices.

5. Keep your dear teacher happy!

I use a special kind of classroom management called Whole Brain Teaching. It is a really cool way to get students excited and on task. Check out their website for more info!

Other fun call and response activities will include... CLASS! YES!  , Hands and Eyes , and  Scoreboard!

See you soon!
