I’m so excited to share this little (ok, maybe not so little) project that I’ve been working on this last week. I’ve really been lamenting all of the fun, Christmas themed, games and centers I usually use with my students this time of year. Like, REALLY getting down about it. Maybe it’s the fatigue of being fully remote for almost 9 months, now, but the loss of the Christmas games has hit me harder than I anticipated it would. From lemons, however, comes lemonade and I’m happy to share this collection of virtual Christmas music centers / games that you can use with your students for online lessons, remote classes, or as independent assignments! I’ve been using these via zoom screen share with my students and it’s been exactly the little bit of novelty that we’ve needed to get through to the winter break. The Deck the Halls Challenge is available in my TPT shop, as well as my new shop at Boom Learning! #musiclessons #elementarymusic #remotelearning #distancelearning #onlinemusiclessons #musicteacher #musicteachersofinstagram #musicactivities #pianoteacher #boomcards #teachersfollowteachers #teacherspayteachers

Today I dropped off a care package, on the porch,

Today I dropped off a care package, on the porch, for one of my students. Yesterday marked her 6th (how has it been 6 weeks already?!) lesson since we transitioned to online learning and it was a rough one. I feel like, maybe, the novelty is starting to wear thin. Kiddos are starting to feel some burnout from so much screen based learning, staying inside all day, and missing the person-to-person connection with their friends, teachers, and extended family. I hope these #earthday themed color by note name worksheets are able to brighten her day a bit, and give her a little #tbt to when we used to do coloring activities together. Hopefully we'll all be coloring together again soon!

Shameless plug: these worksheets are now up in my #teacherspayteachers shop (link in bio), and they've been optimized for #distancelearning, with the answer key in a separate document ( in case they need to be shared electronically instead of on a porch )😉⁠

FREEBIE ALERT!!! Normally, I'd have a prettier pic

FREEBIE ALERT!!! Normally, I'd have a prettier picture to share than this, but I want to get the word out about this FREEBIE for all of you who are trying to adjust to this new normal of online lessons and social distancing. ⁠
⁠
I've created some Easter themed, digital magnetic music staff mats, with Google Slides to use as both a teacher's tool during video lessons - via screen share - or as a collaborative activity between teacher and student - using Google Slides - ⁠
⁠
You'll need a google account to access this resource, as well as whatever format you're using to facilitate your online lessons. ⁠
⁠
This is my first experiment with a digital resource. I hope others can find this tool as useful as I have with my students. ⁠
⁠
Stay safe and stay healthy, everyone! ⁠

I had to give it a week to see if the kiddos would even like this crazy idea that came to me during Thanksgiving break; but, I think it's safe to say that this one is an absolute hit! These tiny little #christmastrees came from my local #dollartree, and all of the trimmings are now available in my #tpt shop! I also made an easy print-and-go Christmas tree option for those days that I'm not feeling all of the set-up / break down. What's your favorite holiday game to play with your students during this #festive time of year? ⁠

It's been a busy November! I'm absolutely loving winding things down in the lead-up to #thanksgiving break with these Build-a-Turkey #craftivities for my students. I've made variations for all of the #majorscales for #bassclef and #trebleclef as well as for some of the common 5-finger positions (so my younger students can join in on the fun). Do you have any Thanksgiving favorites for your #musicstudents? ⁠

Getting ready for a game of "Eye-Ball" this aftern

Getting ready for a game of "Eye-Ball" this afternoon, and I have a feeling things might get a little crazy! I love this game for #halloween week, since it gives the kiddos a chance to flex some of their gross motor skills, while they practice reading note names. It's the ultimate answer to those Halloween wiggles!
👀
Eyeballs and Baskets are both from #dollartree and the Eye-Ball cards will be up in my shop, shortly.

I'm really digging this new spot for a little bit of afternoon #coworking. I'm currently in the process of mocking up some templates for future #pinterest posts to promote the items in my shop and eventual blog posts. Are there any Pinterest experts in the building who would like to share some words of wisdom? I'd be lying if I said I wasn't feeling a little overwhelmed!
