I know it's well after the school year has started, but my oh my has it been one busy year already! Now that I'm in my groove, I finally have time to show off some updates to my room! I'm LOVING what I've done. I started my TeachersPayTeachers store this summer and these will be some products that I will have up and posted for sale. My Word Wall Headers are already there. You should check it out if you can! I went with a Rainbow Chalkboard theme and it really turned out great! I will have Recorder Posters, solfege hand sign posters, MUSIC room rules, and for those who teach in an IB school, I will also have my Profiles, Key Concepts, and Attitudes posters available as well. Take a look and leave a comment if you have any questions about what you see! Aren't the colorful pom-poms a nice touch?! I love them!!! A view from my chair. View from the door. A view for some students. Notice my Boomwhacker storage using a big black bin that I found at good ol' Walmart this summer. And Black to go with my theme. Awesome-sauce. Another perspective. This was a great idea of my student teacher last year. With being an International Baccalaureate school, I wanted to incorporate a more global perspective. So he came up with the idea of doing a Passport to... and then change it each trimester and do music or listen to music from that country. These posters will be available on my TpT store soon! Recorder Center: The storage unit on the left is where I keep the string belts to go on recorders and the trays are all the songs organized by belt level. View of my desk area. Even all my binders are celebrating the rainbow! 1/2 of my word wall (the other half is on the other side of the room) The Letters are available on my TpT store. These are the Attitudes from being an International Baccalaureate school, or a PYP school. Lots to see here, Key Concepts on cabinets (IB stuff again), keyboard behavior clip chart, mailbox to turn in assignments, reusable exit tickets, I Took Action forms. MUSIC Room Expectations. I modeled them after Lindsey Jervis from Lindsey's Kodaly Inspired Classroom. I've had them spell MUSIC for years, but I like the simplicity of how she worded them better and added my personal touch to them. The view for the students. Solfege chart, anchor charts, Smart Board, and learning goals by grade on the left. A closer look at the solfege ladder. Classroom instrument storage and book bins. View from my keyboard. Isle of Rest (much like a "Take A Break" chair), but I have a 2 minute sand timer for kids so they know when they can return. Another view from my keyboard.
