You are WHEELY going to love my newest workstation. *giggle* Sorry. I just couldn't resist! I want to share with you an old center that I've turned into something new and pretty. I haven't updated its name though. I just call it "Little Cars Parking Center" because at this station you...uhm...park little cars. I call the little town that I've created "Music Town". Let's take a look! Here are the things that you'll need to create this center: 1. Little cars -Matchbox, Hotwheels or whatever kind you can find that are about 1 inch wide. I found packs at Dollar Tree that were 3 for $1. I've also found huge buckets full of them at yard sales too. 2. A permanent marker 3. Coloring coding dots or another similar circle sticker. You don't have to use these. You can use a permanent marker or paint pen and draw directly on the cars. I've found that the stickers last a little longer and are easy to remove if I want to switch things up. 4. A container for storage To create the center, I drew 24 symbols on the circle stickers. Then I put them on the little cars I had collected. Next I laid out "Music Town". Each of the parking spaces has the name of a note or symbol. Students drive the matching car to the parking space. Earlier I referred to an older version of this workstation. In that station I used an old cardboard box for this. I broke it down and cut it apart so that it was flat and then drew roads, buildings and parking spots all over it. The kids LOVED it, but it wasn't very sturdy and it was tricky to store. This version fits in a file folder. Hurray! You can download all of these sheets in my Music Town Parking Center set HERE. Here's a closer look at the town: Also included in this set is a Parking Guide. This shows the symbol and its name for students that may need a little bit of help with the names. In the set there are two versions of Music Town. One of the versions is picture above and includes the names of each symbol in the parking spaces. The other version included shows the symbol. This is an easier game for your youngest learners. This station works well just as it is, but I've added a couple of worksheets that ask students to take a look at Music Town and answer a few questions. I think this reinforces the symbol name yet again. You can grab all of this in this set in my store. Do you teach kindergarten or preschool? You might like Alphabet City and Mathville!

Many of these instruments and resources provided by grant funding! We are thankful to all our sponsors! To date, I have attained over $45,000 in grant funding for my elementary general music classroom. I often get asked questions about writing grants. Here are my "TOP 10 Grant Writing Tips" for those of you starting out. 1. Pick a project or goal, and focus on it. If you have too many ideas going on in one request, it will often not be funded. 2. Be to the point and concise. Share important information about your project and your program, but don't blabber on about things that have no relation to the project. 3. Request funding for a resources that will be able to be used over multiple school years. This will help grant givers see their funding will be put to use over a long period of time. (Artist in Residence Grants would be the only exception to this rule.) 4. Involve the community as a piece of your grant. Agree to public performances, podcasting, or sharing of your learning through the requested tools. When writing Artist-in-Residence grants, I always add a community night as a piece of the program to get investors to see we are sharing the music in the school building and beyond. 5. Be specific in your spending. Don't just ask for a lump sum. Spell out specifically how every penny will be spent. 6. Tie your projects to standards. We are all guided by national or state standards that must be met. Share with grant providers how their support will help you meet those goals! 7. Correlate music learning across content areas. Share how the project you are requesting will also help meet reading or social studies standards. Don't become isolated in your subject area. 8. School culture is key. Share how community building through your program will develop school and classroom culture. Positive culture leads to positive learning. 9. Proofread. Do not have typos, spelling errors, or incorrect math. These things do not help those reading your application believe that you are the best teacher in the world who will spend every spent given to you to the max. Be careful and show that you are detailed oriented. 10. Let your passion for working with your students shine through. Remember, it's ALL about them, not you!
