MISS YOU. WANT TO GET NOODLES WITH YOU. DISREGARD THIS, After Gabrielle Calvocoressi, by Lev St. Valentine
Healthy Lifestyle
If there was ever a time to get our students singing, it's in the midst of a global crisis when everyone is isolated in their homes! With my district starting online classes this week I knew I wanted to start with singing. Whether you're teaching online or sending home distance learning packets with no technology requirements, here are some ways to get everyone singing in your distance lessons. 1. Virtual/ live teaching If your district has the capability and you're able to host virtual live classes, then obviously singing is a great activity for any group! With live teaching you can still teach students new songs, or have them sing along together with some old favorites, just like you would in school. A few points to keep in mind: If you want everyone to sing together at the same time, you'll probably want to have everyone mute their audio, unfortunately. Because of the delay it will get super confusing! Be sure to use hand motions or keep the beat somehow visually so that you can still get that feeling of singing together even though everyone can only hear themselves and the teacher. Here are some tips for using motions with singing, especially with elementary students. Echo and call and response songs are great for this situation, because even if there's a slight delay you won't get confused if you're all taking turns- just remind your students to wait for their turns even if it seems like there's a pause. Since you're not all singing at the same time, using an instrument to accompany yourself is a good idea- it will make it less awkward if there's a guitar, ukulele, piano, or even a drum playing along with your singing. 2. Video If you can't host a "live" class time, you can still record a video of yourself to share with students. Since our district is using Google Classroom, I'm creating pre-recorded videos to share with my students, and this week my lessons with lower elementary are all about singing our favorite songs together. I made a list of the songs my students have loved this school year for each grade, and I sat down and sang through the songs in a video, inviting students to sing along. For songs that have games or actions that go with them, I explained how to pretend I am their partner while they sing with the video, or teach someone else in their house how to sing/ play with them. If you're trying to include some type of student "response" or assignment students turn in for each lesson, have them answer a simple question or two after they watch the video: Which one was your favorite song to sing? Do you think it's better to sing ___ fast or slow? What is one more song you would add to our list to sing next time? 3. Sing Alongs If you aren't comfortable or can't record yourself, you can still use the power of the internet to get kids singing along. There are so many great videos on YouTube and other sites that you can use for younger children- just search "sing along kids", or something similar, and look at what comes up. For upper elementary and middle school, I've compiled a playlist here of pop songs from different artists that are positive and kid-friendly without needing cleaning up, with videos that show the lyrics on the screen. For my upper elementary students this week I asked them to pick out a few songs from the playlist and sing along with them, then let me know which one was their favorite. You could also go one step further with responses and ask them to suggest another song to add to the playlist, or compare and contrast 2 songs, etc. 4. No Tech Even without using technology there are still great ways to encourage students to sing! Have students keep a singing log, writing down the names of songs they sing each day. Have students ask someone else to teach them a new song, and have them write down who they learned from and what the song was. Have students teach a song to someone else and report back on their experience. Give students a choice board with different singing-related activities and tell students to complete at least 3 and let you know which ones they did: I hope this gives you some ideas to use with your students in this confusing and difficult time! If you've come up with more great ideas to get kids singing through distance learning, please share them in the comments below. Don't forget, I'm compiling all of my posts for school closures into one page for each access- head to that page for more ideas:

tumblr.com Women have been running down them....... (touch pic if gif isn't working) and being carried up them for ages. Grand Staircases I love staircases, those fabulous bridges between floors. The are usually the first impression that a home makes when guests enter. When we deck the halls during the Holidays, they usually get our utmost attention as we garland, light, and tie them up in beautiful ribbons and bows. We stand on them for family pictures, slide down their banisters, brides descend them, and if you are like me, even fall down them a time or two. The purpose of this post is more about how to decorate staircases in exciting ways. Your staircase may not be as big in size, but it can still be grand in how it's decorated. I have a normal sized staircase that I recently painted in a faux marble treatment. Now it makes a statement and is more impressive. Use art, harlequin patterns, faux stone (see My Faux Limestone Project - July 2012) or marble treatments, paint murals, stencil, use paneling, wallpaper, furniture placement or beautiful runners. It may be on a smaller scale but by all means make your guests say "WOW" when they enter your home. All styles are beautiful to me. I adore simple, primitive stairways. French country entrances with unpretentious yet elegant staircases causes my heart to skip a beat. While this post is dedicated to their grander cousins, stay tuned for a post about them too. Enjoy these architectural beauties from private homes and palaces and be inspired! google.com Muralists can paint beautiful scenes or there are wallpapers you can use to create a look like this. google.com I love the mural painted on the back of this curved staircase. So much more interesting that just paint. You could also paper this area. Anything to add interest and elegance. It might be a pattern, stone treatment, or they make wonderful stencils now. It's not that hard, just takes time. The end result is well worth the effort! georgianadesign.tumblr.com The perfect place for a piano, or a chaise, or settee. The space NEEDS something! info.asmarainc.com This staircase has the perfect runner for this beautiful entry and the wallpaper really makes this area gorgeous! google.com Intricately carved and painted newels and baluster makes this staircase incredible. google.com I am not sure, but this looks like faux marbling and tromp l'oeil painting on these walls. I faux marbleized the newels, risers and decorative trim work of my staircase and LOVE it. Remember there are so many creative ways to bring the WOW factor to your stairways. indulgy.com L-shape designed stairway with raised paneling and wallpaper. Please no plain white walls ladies! petitcabinetdecuriosites.tumblr.com Freestanding curved staircases have no support from underneath, and aren't attached on either side to a wall. This unseemingly stable structure is kept rigid by the staircase's engineering. Kensington Palace You might not have black marble steps like these, but you can still find ways to make YOUR palace more interesting.I painted my steps black in an old home I restored. Then layered coats of polyurethane to seal it good. They were beautiful. lindalumdebono.blogspot.com It you are a fan of wood staircases, this should definitely make you smile! Steps can be made of wood, marble, or stone like these. indulgy.com See these black marble newel posts. You can do the same thing with a faux marble treatment. Many grand staircases have elaborate lighting topping their newel posts. pinterest.com Another amazing example of a staircase with illuminated newel. This was so fabulous I just had to include it. thingssheloves.tumblr.com A gorgeous iron baluster. Consider iron instead of wood. If you don't have limestone walls, create them!

This one also has a balcony. If you are going with all white, make sure your flooring is interesting. This area work well because of the windows and how they bring interest to the staircase. I do, however, think some interior landscaping is called for here. sheilazellerinteriors.com I thought you might be interested in seeing the grand staircase at Althorpe, the ancestral home of Diana, Princess of Wales. I love interesting ceilings! google.com bourbonandpearls.tumblr.com Lovely staircase with a double bullnose (last step design) and two volutes (sets of curved balusters). google.com Over the top, but stunning!!! bseidshop.com Beautiful raised paneling surrounds this staircase giving it a grander appearance. thearchitecturalist.tumblr.com A radius attached staircase is attached on one side to a wall, and can be freestanding or have support underneath.

Snazzy title, right? Guess I'm not feeling too creative today. But that's okay, because I spent some quality time with my computer. Summarizing, like theme, isn't just something you can teach a unit on. You have to keep coming back and coming back and coming back. It all started with this pin on Pinterest: Source: rundesroom.blogspot.com via Megan on Pinterest I thought, WOW! How easy would it be to do this run down every time we read a book? Then I can easily hit summarizing over and over and over and over and over. You get the idea. So, I decided to make my own version because I have an obsessive need to coordinate. Duh. Then, while writing this post, I decide to check out where the original came from. And it's a blog I already follow! Guess I started following after this post. The blog is Runde's Room, and it's awesome. She even has a whole fictional narrative unit to go with it in her TPT store. (FYI-I checked with her before I shared my copycat version.) Anywho, here's my version. Click on the post to download it. I would actually like to stack 10 or 15 post-its on each square in the poster. Maybe we could do something with them after we write on them? Like a mini summarizing board? I don't know. I'll let you know how that goes. Click on image to download. I had it printed at Office Max in an 11x17 poster for about $1.50. I know, I know. Good thing Office Max isn't a real man, or my husband might start getting jealous. Then I started thinking maybe a poster wasn't enough. Maybe I would want something bigger sometimes. So I made it for the Mimio. It will at least be great for the beginning of the year when I'm introducing it. You can download the Mimio lesson here. Take some time and go visit Jen at Runde's Room for some more great ideas! So what about you? Do you have any good summarizing strategies?
