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!!
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.
