Hi everyone! It is time for my five favorite pins of April! If you are a teacher blogger, feel free to join the party! Directions are at the end of the post. Here are my five favorite pins this month. To see the pin, click each picture. #1: Kids' Books That Teach Important Life Lessons This looks like a great list of picture books. Next year, my school's theme is "Bee Yourself," so I'm thinking I could take some of these books and create programs around them! (For more ideas about programs based off of children's literature, see these blog posts .) #2: Tissue box rhythms I…

Five Favorite Pins of December

2 comments

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" …

Five Favorite Pins of October

No comments

Hi everyone! Today I'm blogging with my five favorite pins for the month of October! #1: Making phrase lengths physical This video is SO awesome! It shows a beautiful movement activity to "Fur Elise," in which students are paired up and use a tennis ball to show phrasing. I love how focused the students are, and how beautifully they show the phrases! #2: Domino Music Notes This is a really cute idea for having students think about the number of beats in each pattern. They play dominos with rhythm patterns, matching up dominos with other dominos that have the same number of beats. Lov…

Hi everyone! Today I'd like to bring my linky party, "Five favorite pins," back for the month of June! If you are a blogger, feel free to link up. Just see the directions at the end of this post. #1: Folk music anchor chart Being a Kodaly-inspired teacher, I use folk music ALL THE TIME. So I love the idea of making an anchor chart all about folk music! Sometimes, when a discussion about folk music is not had, kids end up thinking that I make up all of the songs, which is really funny and endearing but of course not true. We want our kids to know all about folk music, and what a grea…
