There are some things that we need for our music classroom. I will be sending this list home with students at the beginning of the year with a newsletter, but I wanted to also post it here.
If you could supply just ONE item from this list that would greatly benefit our music classrooms!!
Welcome!
This blog has been created so others can follow my adventures of returning to a music classroom! I spent my first year out of college as a Middle School Band Director, then as the Music Associate at my church for five years. During that time I decided to make a change and began pursuing my Master's in Library Science. I spent five years as the Media Specialist at a primary school and deeply desired to return to my true calling. I've been given that chance in two elementary schools and I am really excited!

Donors Choose Project
I have just been cleared with a new Donors Choose Project. This is the first time I've been a SONIC teacher and I'm excited and hopeful that the Limeades for Learning program will help my project get funded. YOU can help too!! If you could just share $5 (tax deductible) to my project, I would be forever grateful!
I'm asking for a BOSE SoundDock station to use at both schools with my iPod. Please take some time to view my project and other projects from teachers all over! Help us, as we help our students learn and better themselves!
Here's the link to my project - HERE!

This week
Monday, I spent the day working on things around my house. HOW do we get laundry done and keep the chores taken care of during the school year?!? Seems like that's all I spend time doing during the summer! Tuesday was spent stalking watching the Olympics and Wednesday was spent signing the contract in my new district.
So, today and the rest of the week I'm going to be creating games, planning classroom set up (can't get into my rooms yet) and planning some lessons. Working on a Prezi (www.prezi.com) to use the first classes with my upper grades. I'll post that when I get it finished.
Pinterest has been a HUGE help in my finding games and activities I can incoporate into my teaching. What are some of your favorite games/activities/lessons? I didn't do much with "Star Spangled Banner" last year, so I am looking to do more with that in grades 3-5. Mostly, I am really looking forward to setting up my rooms and making them my own! I have some barred Orff instruments, but DonorsChoose is going to be used to help me get more. Most of what is at both schools is old, broken or doesn't sound good.
Oh I just can't wait to get started!! Don't think I've been this excited about the start of a school year since my first year teaching! LOVE!
