Bulletin Board Display

I try to change my hallway display once per month so I thought I would post so far this year.

This is always a go to board for the beginning of the year and I added pics with the description for the younger students.


I have been incorporating art into the music room this year, as the students do not get an art class.  I started with a bang in September.  September 15 is International Dot Day, based on the book, The Dot by Peter H Reynolds.  This display was later accompanied by artwork from every child in the school!!  Each grade used a different medium and they loved the experience and discussions about leaving their mark on the world.  I was able to expand on the concept, discussing how musicians who have left their mark.  (Somehow I don't have a pic of the final wall.)


I love this one and the explanations (zoom in) but next time I will add pics for the little kiddos!!

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!!!
