August 25th is the BIG DAY!
All of the littles will return to school with fresh haircuts, sweet smiles, and an eagerness to learn. Though I've enjoyed my summer of laziness, the "back to school" commercials and the school supply aisles are getting me excited to greet my kiddos again.
Today, I'm linking up with Mrs. Miracle's Music Room as I prep for the new school year. Included will be, not only some of my resources, but also those of others.
The first product is by Cori Bloom from Rhythm & Bloom.
These Spanish/English music quotes are perfect for my school because of the high number of Spanish speaking families that we serve. They are going to look perfect in the hallway leading up to the music room :)
While I like to teach patriotic songs to all students during the first weeks of school, my 6th graders dig in deeper with the Star-Spangled Banner. I found this wonderful resource not long ago from Music with Sara Bibee. I will definitely be using her unit pack during the month of September.
We've all heard it plenty of times..."See ya' later alligator...." This is a standard salutation for my 1st - 3rd graders as they leave my class each time. I start the year teaching the first three animals with motions as the students line up to go. Each six weeks following, I add 1 or 2 more to the mix. The students love acting out the animals and it's a great way to apply "ta and titi" rhythms throughout the year. You can find this poster of 10 animal sayings here at The Music-Go-Round.
Finally, a new creation as of this summer, is Football Frenzy. Here in Texas, football season is a way of life! I plan to use these fun cards to review S-M with 2nd and 3rd grades during the first few weeks. Then, after much preparation with the fabulous firsties, I'll use the icon cards to practice S-M on a 3-line staff. If you're a football fanatic like me, check out Football Frenzy.
Thank you for stopping by. I'll be checking out some other products at Teachers Pay Teachers for my wishlist. Blast off with TpT's Back to School sale on Aug 4-5. My entire store will be 20% off, while another 8% discount can be added using the TpT code BTS14. Thanks Jena Hudson for making the super-cute pic.
Happy shopping!
