Several of my students love to play Dominotes so I decided to make a slightly "larger" version. The bigger the better, right? So with the help of some foam rectangles and a good permanent marker, I made my own version...they measure about 9"x12" and will make a giant version of the game on my studio floor or even outdoors. In hindsight, I wish I had made them 6"x12" so that each half was square - more like an actual domino. As you can see from the picture, when you start to match up at a 90 degree angle, the bottom of the note you add is slightly larger. I'm still happy with the result, though. It's another way to work on note values and showing the relationship between notes. And what child wouldn't love to work on a game this large and this colorful? This game will also be a great addition to my summer camps! UPDATE: THIS GAME/POST HAS BECOME AMAZINGLY POPULAR. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THE DIRECTIONS OR HOW TO LABEL THE PIECES, PLEASE PURCHASE THE ORIGINAL GAME - DOMINOTES! It can be found HERE. I want to protect the copyright laws and the hard work of the original creator so I will not be emailing specifics. Thank you for your understanding!
Music education is one area that I feel like we have really slacked in over the years. It was always hard for me to stay consistent, even though I knew in my head how important it was. It was just …
First Graders are learning to read and perform quarter notes (ta), barred eighth notes (titi) and quarter rests (shh). To practice these skills we created caterpillar rhythms. 1. The head of the caterpillar stands for "one, two, ready go" 2. Add one body piece and then perform the rhythm starting with "one, two, ready, go". By starting each time this way the tempo is established. 3. Next, add another caterpillar body part and repeat. 4. The tail stands for "The End". (Teachers: You can get a version of this HERE).

UPDATE: Hello everyone! I have been at a new school with nearly 3x the students! Eek! Interactive notebooks haven't been feasible here, so I haven't been keeping up with them. I do have some of the things I've use available for free (see the links below) and I'm working on uploading more! https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Music-Interactive-Notebook-Pages-Rhythms-475383 https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Music-Interactive-Notebook-Pages-Dynamics-Tempos-Articulations-424104 Several of my wonderful readers have asked/emailed about how I use interactive notebooks in the music room. Hopefully this post can help you, in case you decide to use them in your own classroom. Let me caution you - This is only my 2nd year using them. I decided to "give it one more go" before I pass judgement on the idea as a whole. Last year, I used them often in the first semester, but they somewhat "fizzled" out in the second - I even decided to keep my 5th graders notebooks and recycle them for third this year. Pros - I like the idea of having a place for students to log what they've learned, reflect on what they've heard, and post assignments and compositions, not to mention something they can take with them when they go on to middle school. The students have been positive about using the notebooks and seem to enjoy them. Cons - I do not like the 1) time it takes to use the notebooks and, honestly, the 2) time it takes for me to create things to go inside the notebooks (Have you seen your average 3rd grader make a foldable? Eeek), 3) the cost (or acquisition) of materials (makers, pens, glue, paper, and the notebooks themselves). Some basics: * I only use notebooks with grades 3-5. You might just pick one or two grades to "try it out". * Find a convenient place to store them and an efficient way to pass them out/clean them up. I store them on a bookshelf by homeroom teacher. On the cover, I've written the student's name, grade, and teacher in permanent marker. I color-code (using a marker dot or sticker) each journal based on where the student sits (if they sit on the red risers, they have a red dot, etc). Journals can be passed out quickly during our normal greeting/warm-up routine. * Create a sense of "ownership" for the students - praise their good work, allow them to share with others, ask to use theirs as "model" for other classes/grades, put a cute sticker on a particularly worthy assignment * Create meaningful assignments that are aligned with your curriculum. For me, this is why so much of my notebook is a "work in progress". I've had to "grow" my curriculum with my students. This is my 3rd year with them, and it is the first year that I've though, "Whew, they are pretty much on-pace with where they should be." * Keep it simple - If I can use the large paper-cutter to crop a worksheet, rather than hand 25 scissors to 3rd graders, I'll do myself, thanks. If it will take me twenty minutes to fold 20 foldables when it would take a 4th grader 20 minutes to fold 1, I'll do it. If I can glue in a page and spare 30 glue-bottles from the fingers of 30 5th graders, I'll do that too. See what I mean about cons (taking a lot of your time)? * If you want to have an organized notebook (a section for rhythm, a section for melodies, etc), you'll need to plan out nearly all the components ahead of time. I do a basic "notebook" planning page per nine weeks, where I list things I want to create or have the students create to put in their notebooks. Then, I simply have the students enter in notes and assignments as we complete them. Many teachers have their student's notebooks number by page (i.e. pages 20-35 are rhythmic pages), but those teachers are usually teaching only one classroom of students, not multiple classes and grade levels. Anyway, here are a few pages from my current 3rd grade "model" notebook. We'll begin working in our notebooks next week (fingers crossed). Here's the title-page for our notebooks. I let the students decorate it themselves, as long as what they draw is music-related. I set a time limit of 10 minutes for this activity and I usually multi-task by playing a song we're learning or will learn, or have learned, or will listen to, etc, while they complete this task. This sheet includes the musical vocabulary the students will learn over the first nine-weeks. Words highlighted in yellow are words the students are learning/have learned. At the end of the first nine weeks, the students put a green dot next to words they are sure they know, and a red dot next to words they are unsure of this. This gives me the opportunity to see what we need to revisit or relearn. Vocabulary words are posted on the word wall and on the "vocabulary wall" which is a large pocket chart (I forgot to take a picture of this but I will post it soon - it is very effective). This little page is quite interactive. The students illustrate each vocabulary word. We use these words ALL the time (they are also on the word wall and currently on the vocabulary wall as we are reviewing them). Here are some rhythm pages for 3rd grade. In addition to basic rhythms (whole note/rest, half note/rest, quarter note/rest, eighth notes and sixteenth notes), my 3rd graders also learn the dotted half note, tika-ti (2 sixteenths, one eighth), and ti-tika (1 eighth, 2 sixteenths). I usually also touch on syn-co-pa (eighth quarter eighth) and tam-ti (dotted quarter eighth) because these rhythms are common in some of the recorder and choral music we do. One Beat Rhythms Two Beat Rhythms Four Beat Rhythms I'll also be including some rhythm practice pages and a few rhythm composition activities that the students will glue in. Here are a few melodic-based pages. Melodic Shape Activity Melodic Vocabulary with Illustrations Do Re Mi Song Activity Treble Clef - corresponds to boomwhacker colors Music Street I like the music street printable. Students fill in the solfa as we learn them. Some students can use the floor staff, while others track the movement in their notebooks (as we discuss steps, skips, and leaps). I also plan to include some sight-reading practice pages (more soon). Students can also log listening experiences. I like to include these basic vocabulary pages so students can refer to them. And short assignments, like the ones described in 3rd Grade Listening Recommendations , can also be logged here. Listening Recommendations Exploration Report Two years ago, I had a moderate obsession with foldables. I'm currently "researching" (and by that, I mean browsing Pinterest) to see which foldables to incorporate in the interactive notebook. Love this book! Orchestral Instruments Foldable Pentatonic Page from previous notebooks Recorder Fingerings Foldable Rhythm Value Look Book - I'll probably use this again See what I mean? Obsessed. This year, I've already created one new foldable: I love it because it was so simple to create (just print, cut out the square for the students). I'm thinking we could use a few of these as we study composers. That's about all I have for right now. I'll update soon!
Montessori-inspired music themed learning activities for kids.
Τα Lego (ή οποιαδήποτε άλλα παρόμοια τουβλάκια) μπορούν να αποτελέσουν έναν πολύ ιδιαίτερο τρόπο εκμάθησης των ρυθμικών αξιών στην πράξη, ιδιαίτερα σε παιδιά που δυσκολεύονται στα μαθηματικά και στις έννοιες των κλασμάτων. Τα Lego μπορούν μέσα από το παιχνίδι να βοηθήσουν τα παιδιά να αντιληφθούν τα κλάσματα, πώς χωρίζουμε κάτι σε μέρη και πώς παίρνουμε ένα μέρος από αυτό. Έτσι όταν μιλάμε για όγδοα, τέταρτα και μισά είναι εύκολο να τα κατανοήσουν, να τα κατασκευάσουν και να τα παίξουν. Μέσω του Build with Chrome έφτιαξα ένα σχέδιο της αντιστοιχίας κάθε κομματιού Lego με την αντίστοιχη ρυθμική αξία. Μπορούμε επίσης να δημιουργήσουμε ρυθμούς με κομματάκια Lego τους οποίους θα πρέπει τα παιδιά να παίξουν ή να δημιουργήσουν τους δικούς τους! Είναι μια ιδέα που μπορεί να λειτουργήσει διαθεματικά με το μάθημα των Μαθηματικών ή και ως επιπλέον ενίσχυση στις μαθησιακές δυσκολίες. Στις παρακάτω εικόνες μπορείτε να πάρετε περισσότερες ιδέες για τη χρήση των Lego στη μουσική. http://tommcpherson.ca/ http://elementarymusicresources.blogspot.com/ http://elementarymusicresources.blogspot.com/ http://elementarymusicresources.blogspot.com/ http://www.scholastic.com/ http://www.scholastic.com/

Maybe Monday wasn't the best day for my linky party with my graduate class being on Monday night, but better late than never! Here are a few manipulatives that I use for staff work in my classroom: I use these with my K and 1st grade for High/Low and in preparation for sol-mi. The stars are little erasers I found in the dollar bin at Target at some point. I probably should buy stock in Target! This is a staff I use without a clef. I use this when working in do clef and I show on the board where our do clef is going to be. I have a piece of staff paper that I put on colored cardstock and laminated to make a class set. I also have some with treble clef. I have tons of different erasers that I separate out into baggies for each student. I use apple for Apple Tree, Smiley Faces for "Hey Hey", stars for "Starlight, Starbright", "A+" erasers that I use for "Johnny's It" and "Weevily Wheat", Hearts that I use for lots of valentines songs, and the colored circles were a free find in the teacher lounge at the end of last year. I think another teacher used them as math counters. Want to link up and share your manipulates? Write a blog post and then link it below. You can include my Monday Music Manipulatives picture to link to this post if you want! Can't wait to see and hear about your ideas! Lindsay
