Behold! The Wall of Whackers! Boomwhackers are great for the elementary music classroom, but they are such a pain to store. For the past six years I have kept my large Boomwhackers in laundry baskets and my smaller ones in buckets. It looked messy and was hard to find the tubes I needed. I just moved to a new classroom with a very long, empty wall. I knew I wanted to use the large space for a word wall (which as you can see is still on the to-do list,) but then I found this.... The original inspiration for my wall. This picture (above) was the inspiration for my Wall of Whackers. How simple! What a great idea! I had searched all over the internet for Boomwhacker storage ideas, and this was the only picture I found that really got me excited to try something new! After figuring out how much space this whole thing would take, I ordered 14 feet of 1-inch bulletin board strip through my school. The maintenance crew installed the bulletin board strip. I used long strips of self-adhesive Velcro (prickly side) on the bulletin board, and put short, 2-inch strips (fuzzy side) on each Boomwhacker. It took about an hour of my time to complete. The pitches are much easier to find now, and are very easy to grab! The tubes also give me an easy visual/auditory reference to show students that large instruments make low pitches and small instruments make high pitches. They also provide some much needed color to my new classroom! I plan on using the remaining top half of the wall for a word wall or musical timeline. The black things on the top of some of the tubes are the Octavator caps. I would love to get enough caps to put on each tube! I also have another few feet of space to put more Boomwhackers! Because I use this blog to share interactive resources, I thought I would share a useful (and free) Boomwhacker program called "Boom." Boom is a program (yes, you have to download it) by The Music Interactive that you can have students use on individual computers, but I recommend using it on an interactive whiteboard. You can drag and drop virtual Boomwhackers into melodic patterns or chords. It also has a writing space at the top of the page where you can write rhythmic notation or anything else you may need. The beauty of this program is that you can use it in whatever way works best for you. You can click here for the link, but will need to scroll down a bit to find the program. Make sure you check out some of their other great music programs, too!

I was so excited when Lakeshore wanted me to review some products. I very impatiently waited for the package to arrive and felt like a kid on Christmas morning when it got here. Plinko, sequencing games, vocab games, oh my! Plinko I remember during the summer as a child, I would watch The Price Is Right every single day. Plinko was one of my favorites, and I always wanted my own Plinko board. My childhood dream came true thanks to Lakeshore. This Plinko game is made for working on phonemic awareness, but really the possibilities are endless with this one. This Plinko includes a Plinko game board, a cloth bag and 90 illustrated chips. The kids pull a chip out of the bag, say the word, lay it flat against the board and let it drop. The options at the bottom include "say the beginning sound", "say a rhyming word" and "say the final sound". Here are some twists on the original that I did to target my kid's specific speech and language goals. Articulation: -If it lands in the beginning sound part they have to change the first letter of the word to one of their sounds. If it lands in rhyming they have to rhyme the word with one that has their sound in it and if it lands in the final sound then they change the final sound in the word to one of their sounds. -Put symbols for initial, medial and final on the compartments with tacky gum. I had my kids use checkers so that we weren't restricted to just the pictures on the chips. Which ever one the chip lands in they have to pick a card from the corresponding pile and say it at whatever level they are at (word, phrase, sentence). -If you're playing this game with one child or children all working on the same sounds, you could put sounds on each compartment. I did this with a group that was working on "sh", "ch" and "dge". Whichever one it landed in they had to pick from that corresponding pile. Language: -Verb tenses I made simple past, present and future signs. I had the kids pull out a verb from a bucket and then use a checkers chip and whichever one it landed on they had to give me a sentence using the word with the appropriate tense. -Categories Make simple category pictures to stick on there and then the child has to name something in whatever category their chip lands in. -Antonyms, Synonyms and Multiple Meanings The kid drops the chip, once it's landed in one of the options you can give them a word. They have to tell you an antonym of that word, a synonym or what both of the words mean for the multiple meanings. -Social Language One compartment was for "Ask a question" the student had to pick someone in the group, say their name and then ask them a question ("What's your favorite food?"), the second compartment was for "Tell us something about...." the rest of the group has to decide what the child should talk about ("Tell us something about your mom."). The third compartment was "Solve a problem". The teacher or other students have to think of a problem and the student has to solve it ("What would you do if someone cut in front of you in line?"). So many ideas I could keep this game out all day and just swap out the symbols on the bottom! Vocabulary-Interactive Games I used the projector so I could have a big group work on these games. You can download this straight onto your computer (all you people with iPads) or you can buy the CD-Rom There are three different games that you can play: Identifying opposites Not only can you find the opposite for the picture card on the left, but you can come up with opposites for the rest of the words on the right. Somehow I managed to turn it into a prepositional and descriptive word game too. Some of my young kids couldn't read the words so they had to tell me "It's the pink one on the top shelf.". Using descriptive words Some of my kids thought this section was super easy. Not so fast children....they had to find the corresponding picture to the word, but they also had to describe the other pictures on the page. I was feeling extra mean, so I made them tell me the function of all the objects too. :) Category sorting This was a good activity to get conversations going. We matched the object to whatever store it belonged to, and then listed other things we might find at each of the stores. We worked on how to ask for help with finding an item at the store. Adventure Camp: Sequencing Game The purpose of this game is to work on reading comprehension. The students read the passage on each card and then answer the question on the back. There is a cool decoder to find out if you picked the right option. Since reading comprehension isn't necessarily something we work on in speech, I changed it to a listening comprehension game. I read the passage and the students answered the questions. There are some difficult vocabulary words in some of the passages, so it's a good opportunity to talk about vocabulary too. I also used this with one of my students working on fluency. As I was reading he had to tell me what kind of disfluency I had and what strategy I should use to fix it. If he got it right, then he got to move ahead on the game board. All in all these were some great additions to the old materials closet. The kids had lots of fun with them and they are all so versatile. I don't know about you all, but that's what I look for in materials. I want to be able to use the same game with all my different groups no matter what their goals are. I would say these fit that mold. Thank you Lakeshore for giving me the opportunity to try these out!
Today's post will make a number of people quite angry and is intended to be controversial! Why? Because controversy promotes critical thinking, broadens perspectives, allows to acquire better knowledge of the construct in question as well as ultimately guides better decision making on the part of the parties in question. So why the lengthy disclaimer? Because today
The past few months my students have been making feathers for a group mural. This idea was inspired by my friend and celebrity in the art community, Cassie Stephens! Head on over to her blog and check out her magical art teacher'n treasures at Cassie Stephen's Blog!! Her original inspo was international street artist, Kelsey Montague. Her inspiring murals challenge people to ask the question "What Lifts you" "What makes your heart Soar?" My students are going to be writing about their passions and inspirations that "lifts" them! I want each student that comes to my art class to feel as though they are walking out with wings on their back, so they can bravely rise up to their dreams with courage and passion! I want them to feel confident in themselves and know that the sky is the limit! First, students painted on watercolor paper with tempera paint using a value gradient of tints and shades using one color plus black on the left and white on the right. They had to blend the colors so thet the different shades did not look like stripes One group did primary and secondary colors red, orange, yellow, green blue, and violet. The next group would paint intermediate colors, red-orange, yellow-orange, yellow-green, blue-green, blue-violet, and red=violet Fourth and fifth graders used 9' by 24' paper and 3rd graders used smaller paper the next class, students then traced different shapes of feathers using white prisma color pencils and cut them out then they decorated them with unique lines and designs with white prisma color pencils My wonderful and extremely talented student teacher, Naz Kaya Erdal and I layed them out on three large sheets of black butcher paper until the feathers looked symmetrical. Once we finished the shape, we taped each feather down to the paper with painter's tape Then I hung that bad boy with TONS and tons and TONS of staples!! The next morning the kids were SO excited to find their feathers turned into GIANT wings!!! I hope the parents who come to visit will snap a pic in front of the wings and post to #ArtisFly and #riseupandsoar hashtags for social media!
