With all of the excitement lately, I've been seeing lots of great activities for music lessons related to the one of the best movie series of ALL TIME, so I thought I'd put together a list of freebies, products, and activities that could work to get the kids excited AND teach them musical concepts! #1: "Imperial March" listening lesson I put together this free listening lesson to help students practice tim-ka, or dotted eighth/sixteenth. I used it with my 5th graders last year and they LOVED listening to the piece, and it was a great connection from what they learned in music …

Over the years I've tried out several different grade-keeping apps. Below I'm describing my favorites; most of the apps can be used even if you only have one iPad in your classroom! Numbers When I first bought an iPad mini, this is the app I used for grade keeping. It is like the Apple equivalent of Excel, so you can build your grade book like a spreadsheet. Here is a screenshot sample: In the screenshot (which is on my Mac, but the iPad app is very similar), the default is set at 4, but each cell has a dropdown menu so you can select whatever you need as you grade. It took a little bit …
Since winter break is upon us (or almost upon us, depending on your district), so is report card time! Over the years I've tried out several different grade-keeping apps.

Hi everyone! Since it's December, here is my five favorite pins linky party! Here are my five favorite pins this month: #1: Stretchy Band activities I just bought a stretchy band from Bear Paw Creek, and am SO excited to use it, so was thrilled to find this pin with some great activities! So far, I've only used it to help students remain in a circle for a circle dance (which did totally help!) so I'm looking forward to using the band in other ways. #2: Christmas version of "Bow Wow Wow" Such a cute way to weave Christmas music into your lessons, using "Bow Wow Wow" …
The singalong is an event I first became familiar with my first year in my district. It's an opportunity for the entire student body, parents, family members, and teachers to all get together and sing. We do this in the thirty minutes before the holiday parties, the last day before break, and I have to say, I have really grown to love it! It's so wonderful to get such a big community of people together to sing songs...such a great way to get into the holiday spirit! So what is a singalong? It is an event to which students, parents, family members, and staff are invited. Everyone sits l…
I can't believe it's already December! As I look at my lessons for the next three weeks, I just realized it's almost time to start preparing students for our annual holiday singalong.
