Double blog post today, because that's the kind of day I'm having, lol!! I made two batches of muffins for my kids (blueberry and chocolate), bought two new outfits, so things are coming in twos!! This is an idea that I got from two of my friends who teach in my district (Jenna O. & Cathy K.). These are beat strips and are great for rhythmic dictation and notation. They were a little time consuming to make, but I hope to give you some tips to make it go faster and easier! Here's the general idea. Every student gets a beat strip, like this: This is Jenna's original template, I have redone them, using a different font to look more like a time signature. From there, I have rhythms that are prepackaged according to grade level (this will vary for everyone, depending on your sequence). Here's a picture of the beat strip with my first grade "pouch" of rhythms: Here's the way they look on the chart: After first grade, students will have more then one "pouch." So, when my second graders use half note they get the second grade pouch with half note in addition to the first grade pouch with ta, ti-ti and ta rest. ** Note: I don't call them "first grade pouch" so the kids don't have a misconception if they are behind in the sequence. I refer to the rhythms in them with the students. Then, when they put them away, they must return them to the correct baggie, kind of like sorting out legos when you're done building! Here's a couple pictures of the first grade pouch with the third grade rhythm baggie: And here's a couple shots of my fourth grade pouch: Now, I mentioned I re-did Jenna's file. Here's the four beat dictation board that I showed above: What you would do is print these out on card stock, laminate them (so they'll last a long time) and then cut them into the strips that you saw above. I started thinking about the Common Core Standards and wanting my kids to do longer dictation/compositions so I created an 8 beat board (below): I also wanted my students to write in 3/4 meter, so here's a 3/4 board (3 beat dictation/composition): And here's a 3/4 meter board that's 6 beat dictation/composition: I also made all of the rhythms in both stick notation and notation with note-heads. You print these out on card stock first, then laminate and cut along the dotted lines (for a class of 30 you print 10 pages of each rhythm): With the rhythmic elements that last longer than one beat I made light gray lines to show the beats (it's a nice reminder to the students that a dotted half note gets three beats, or a half note gets two beats or syn-co-pa is three sound over two beats). It's important when cutting these cards to NOT cut along the gray lines!! :) Here are the time saving tips: Print them on card stock, they'll last longer Color code them, if possible, according to rhythmic element- this will make assessing them much quicker- you can do a quick glance for color, major time saver during class! For a class of 30, you'll need 10 pages of each concept Cut them out on the paper cutter AFTER you laminate them Look at your curriculum and print the ones you need. Or print as you go. Start with the 1st grade set one year and gradually print more Recruite some 5th graders to sort them- it's a great reinforcement for them too :) If you're interested in these cards, they can be found at my Teachers Pay Teachers store. And there you have it, the double post for the day!!! Have a GREAT Martin Luther King Jr. Day tomorrow!!!

Eine total geniale, einfache Idee! Einfach ein Softcover-Taschenbuch nehmen, bei mir war es ein altes Donald-Duck-Heft aus meiner Kindheit, und jede Seite der Länge nach auf die Hälfte falten - fertig ist ein ästhetischer, einmaliger, praktischer Halter für kleine Notizblätter oder Visitenkarten. Es sieht einfach toll aus!

Paula and I have enjoyed all the great comments each day, so many fabulous ideas! Thanks again for all who commented! This one was not the winner in the random giveaway but we laughed so hard about it (at the same time thought it was a great idea) that were going to give an extra prize today. Cliptix said... I usually go on a massive baking spree for friends and neighbors. 3 or 4 types of cookies and 2 or 3 breads and at least 1 candy. Although for the neighbors I plan on buying a box of HoHos and DingDongs and giving those with a note that says Ho-Ho-Ho Merry Christmas from the DingDongs next door. :P The winner of Day 5 of the 7 Days of Giveaways is.... Congratulations! Thea said...I give different little gifts every year. This year it was a note tote - made out of folded files. I stamped put clear contact paper on them. They have four pockets for notes, a small pocket for business cards and a 2012 small calendar. I put a small Dec. calendar in the business card pocket. Cliptix and Thea please email us at [email protected] to claim your prize! You have 24 hours or it goes back in the pot! Within Arms Reach (or using what you have on hand) Paula asked me to do this post and for whatever reason I didn't get her email until midnight last night. At that point I decided I would just go to bed and figure it out this morning. After much thought I decided that a good lesson for me when I'm stressed or short on time is to use things I have....especially since I have a very well stocked studio with years of accumulated items ready to be used. THREE THINGS Here are 3 projects appropriate for the holiday season that I made with items "within arms reach" IDEA #1 - Image transfer onto muslin bags These bags were created to package ornaments for our family ornament exchange. I think good packaging always bumps a gift up a notch. The photos used were old family photos. The kids loved seeing their grandpa and great grandpa in a different light and made their ornament more of a special gift. Instructions: Step 1 - Use a muslin bag that you have on hand or make your own with a drawstring top. Step 2 - Make photo copies (dry toner) of your photos and cut them out. Step 3 - Wrap a piece of cardboard with waxed paper and insert it in the bag. Place the bag face up on another piece of waxed paper. Step 4 - Brush a thick coat of transfer medium onto the printed side of your photocopy. I used "Picture This" by Plaid, but you can also use a matte medium or gel medium (....and I bet most of you have one of those in your stash). Place the copy onto the bag, photo side down. Cover with a paper towel. Using the transfer medium bottle, lightly roll over the entire copy. Remove the paper towel. Press around the outside edges with your finger. Let dry for 24 hours. Step 5 - When dry, saturate the copy with a wet sponge and let it set for 2 minutes. Gently rub off all the paper pulp covering the photo. It really is an easy and fun process. TAG - Here is a close up of the tag attached to the bag. Cut a few paper scraps and sew them onto the edge of the tag. Include a few strands of gold thread of whatever you have on hand to add interest. Idea #2 - JOY In my entryway I have a ledge that at Christmas time screams to be filled. I wanted to use items that I had on hand and decided to use three of my four vintage typewriters to spell out JOY. I might add that of all the other decorations in my house, this one gets commented on the most. HOW TO: Using a typewriter style font I printed the letters on vintage sheet music. I added a piece of chipboard behind the paper so it would stand up and not flop down. A piece of jute was tied around the layers to hold them all together.....DONE, so easy! Disclaimer: I know that not everyone has 3 typewriters, but the idea is that you take something you have and repurpose it into a fun idea. Idea #3 New Year's Eve Party Invitation I know that this isn't a Christmas idea, but it is after all, time to plan for your New Year's Eve party so I figured it could still count. This is a fun idea for your New Year's invitation (and don't forget to only use items on hand). If you love to keep cool shopping bags, old maps, wallpaper, old music this is the project for you. Envelope - Step 1 - Take apart an existing envelope. Step 2 - Trace the envelope onto a piece of bookboard and cut out with an xacto knife. Step 3 - Now for the fun part....place your bookboard template onto whatever paper you want to use (the one below I used old music paper). You don't even need to trace just tear around the edge. The torn edge adds to the look of the invitation. Invitation - Step 1 - Print front and inside of invitation onto cardstock or watercolor paper. Step 2 - Cut or punch small square approximately 1". You can see they vary in size. Step 3 - Gather some trims - lace, ribbon, cord, rick rack, string, etc. Step 4 - Lay squares and trim in place and stitch across. It is really very easy and you can create a large amount in a short time of you use an assembly line...I have made over 100 at a time! Here's a couple of other options. You can see that the paper and trims you choose can change the whole look of the invitation. I think some of the best ideas happen when we use what we have on hand. If you would like to enter to win today's giveaway to win a stash of 7gypsies products, please leave a comment. Today's question: At Christmas time have you ever had to use items "within arms reach"? Whether by choice or by circumstances....we would love to hear about it. (if not, you can still enter to win...no pressure!) Day 6 Giveaway is open till 12 midnight pacific time. Winner will be posted tomorrow morning and you will have 24 hours to claim your prize. Good Luck...Now I need to go do some shopping! Enjoy, deb

My twins really enjoy Montessori inspired math activities. I try to change up the materials we use each time. Generally I place the activity on a tray or the light table, that way the pieces don't get mixed up or knocked off the table. Here are some examples! real sea shells and sea shell aquarium accents Numbers laminated and glued onto wooden squares with home made bead chains (red beads strung onto sparkly pipe cleaners). Count the beads on each bead chain! Laminated Mickey mouse heads cut with a mickey mouse shape punch from JoAnn's with Mickey mouse plastic ice cube's written on with dry erase marker. Dollar tree clear plates with trees drawn on them. I used sharpie markers to draw the trees, then paired them with acrylic apples from Michaels. Glass gems and Light Table Numbers Flash cards and paper clips Wood slices from Lakeshore and home made bead chains Real sea shells and fancy stringing rings by Roylco 1. point to a numbered plate 2. ask the child what number it is, help if they can not answer correctly, 3. then you can either instruct the child to put that amount of counters on the plate or mix it up by saying X amount of one color, X amount of another color, etc. We used clown counters but we also have bear counters as well as many various light table counters. example: for the number seven, I might ask him to put 4 red clowns and 3 blue clowns on the 7 plate. for the number 5, I might ask him to put 5 yellow clowns. then for the number 4 I might ask for 1 yellow clown and 3 orange clowns. My twins are 5, but you can make this simpler for a 4, 3, or 2 year old. If the child has learning disabilities, you might have to work up to this and make it simpler in the mean time. This activity can be more than just counting, it can be colors, counting, and following instructions Plates are from the dollar tree, Clowns from Constructive Playthings Visit Kristen (Caution!
