Music in Our Schools Month

For whatever reason, this is the first year in my four years of teaching that I have really done anything for Music in our Schools Month. This year, I really felt a need to do different things and demonstrate what we are doing in music to parents and the community.

This is what we are doing this month...
1. Mini performance- 2nd thru 4th graders are performing a dance during our Grandparent's Day assembly.
2. Share Day-this is an opportunity for students to play an instrument or to sing for their classmates. We focus on traits of both a performer and an audience member.
3. Favorite things tree-Each student wrote their favorite thing about music on a leaf. They cut then out and out then on the tree on our door. It was great to find out what they really like about class. This information helps me make class even better.
