One new thing I tried this year that was a success was the
Musician of the Day Rock Star Autograph board.
I had this up all year, and as you can see, I had to add more paper! The kids loved finding their names or getting to figure out a way to make their name stand out.
I rewarded students who had gotten straight As for me in music with the best behavior box again. Here are two girls showing off their "stinky feet" and a boy who chose "pet shop" and got to sit with my big stuffed Baghera for a whole class period!
I has put up the "We <3 Music" board way back in February. I like to think of it more as creativity rather than laziness that I came up with the idea to have students add Post-It notes with why they love music. Some notes include: Singing, Dancing, Drums and Games.
Here is my room at one of my schools....
See you again in August!
The stinky feet reward gives me a great idea. If my students want to borrow things from me, I'll have them trade it for one of their shoes to be sure they'll return it. Sometimes to have some fun, I may tell them things like "P.U !" or "Whew, you have smelly feet !" I'm sure they'll love when I tell them that.
