Welcome Back TRS Musicians!

It is time to get back to school and I have been busy getting our classroom ready.

This year I am looking forward to setting some goals for our year together.

Goal 1: Celebrate cultures through music! 
We will learn about music from other places in the world through singing, playing games, and exploring instruments.

Goal 2: Use music specific vocabulary!

I made a whole new word wall for us to use when we are critiquing, discussing, and writing about music. 

Goal 3: Award Positive Behavior

I want to award students who consistently do the right thing and give them a chance to have a free day where they choose what we do in music for a day. Here is how we will track our behavior in class:

Can't wait to see you all at Meet The Teacher Night, Friday August 15th from 4-8!

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!
