The First Day!

I’m so excited for the first day! I hope all the kids are, too. I’m looking forward to getting to know each one of my students, their likes, dislikes, gifts, but more importantly, their love of music! We’ll have TONS of different musical activities going on through the year and this will be a way to keep everyone informed of the awesome things going on. Here’s the schedule for the day:


Kindergarten, 1st,  2nd and 3rd Grades
Overview of class routine
Overview of rules
The Name Game - each student gets to choose an adjective to help me remember their name, then they have to remember the last person’s adjective and name

5th & 6th Grades
Overview of class routine
Overview of rules
“Music Is...” - One student will read the quote on the wall. Each student will  then write down what music means them. We’ll put these up in the classroom, then at the end of the year, we’ll revisit this and rewrite another one. My goal for this year in all the classes is gained music appreciation. What better a way to illustrate music appreciation than through the student’s words themselves!
Fun Things - Student gets their number called and tells their name & one fun thing you did for summer or an interesting fact about themselves.
