Future Classroom Theme

Okay guys, I've been finding great resources on Pinterest and on other blogs! PLUS I'm so excited because I get to see my new classroom next Monday. I'm thinking that my theme will be the same as this blog--a "Where the Music Things Are" theme. I'm starting this week painting Where the Wild Things Are characters holding and playing different instruments. Today I did some gigantic Ipods in different colored butcher paper (I'm going to put our Essential Questions and I Can statements on them for each grade), then I painted Max with earphones linked to them!! Pics soon to come of decorations and my future classroom....

New Beginnings

Hello Blogger World!

       I'm so excited to start blogging at the start of a new beginning in my life! I'm currently ending my fourth year teaching. For the past three years, I've taught second grade, and then first grade. Now, with the current budget situation in my county, I got moved to.........K-5 music!! You guys, I have to be honest--I'm so excited to have a job, but I am so scared about doing music! My original degree was in Music Education, then I got my Master's in Reading and Literacy Curriculum and Instruction. I taught K-5 music during my first year of teaching, but that was over three years ago!

     So, I decided that now was the time to start blogging and getting ideas from you guys! I'm scouring Pinterest, and other music blogs for suggestions of how to make this transition. What are your ideas?? What should I be thinking about right now for my future music classroom?  Ready...Set...Comment!
