Record player

I love when student inquiries lead to great discoveries and lessons!! Discussing folk songs with my 3rd graders led us to the Fisher Price Record Player that was mine as a little person, and I have it in the classroom now.  The students could not believe that there was no plug, no batteries and no recording device inside the plastic player.  We then went on to discuss record players.  They were so excited to see how it worked, ask a million questions and dance to my mothers records from the 60s!!

Hallway wall for everyone!!

  I am soooooo excited about the music staff in my hallway at school.  The caption is "Each of us a single note, together we create a masterpiece at DSE!"  Each note has a student's name and each color is a different class.  I am thinking I will leave it up the whole year as a teaching tool, but we will see how that goes.

Anchor charts

So... I'm not sure if anchor charts are for the students or serve as a visual reminder for me.  I love the active listening one I made and can refer to to correct or redirect students, it hangs near where I stand in the room.  The other chart reminds me what to have the kids look for when examining a new piece of music.

Elf On A Shelf In the Music Room

A student asked in early December why there was not an Elf On The Shelf In the music room.   So I decided to give it a try. Day 1 and 2: The elf arrived hanging out with our friend Leo with these notes:          Day 2 Hanging in the tree... Days 3 and 4 He found out that the students voted and his name is Jimmy Jingles!             He discovered instruments around the classroom!  Jimmy Jingles also left us a song to sing. Days 5 and 6:  Jimmy Jingles discovered the recorder!!! We only had 6 school days after Jimmy joined us before break!  For the two literacy testing days he   hung out in the wreath near my desk watching me grade papers and do grades. Jimmy came home with me for the break and we received his door to the North Pole from a friend. He will be back to the music room next year!!!
