It's a New Year!

It's time for the 2017-2018 school year to begin and I cannot wait! The excitement is in the air and all of the teachers are abuzz, wondering what kind of awesome new students they're getting this year. I'm excited to see all of my awesome first and second graders, and I can't wait to meet all the wonderful new kindergarteners coming in!! With the first day coming up, it's that time of year again; time to post awesome pictures of the music room, ready for the first day!

Our welcome door to enter this year is my favorite so far! A colorful piano, welcoming all to enter into a new year full of music! Also notice the red signs! WE GOT NEW CARPET THIS YEAR!! That means no candy/gum, food, or drinks unless it's water in the music room now, so we can keep this new carpet looking nice! :)

 

The back wall has been a little reorganized. We had a wonderful anonymous donation of a few instruments this year, such as the gong on the far left shelf, and I can't wait for the kids to get to use them!

Just saying, this new carpet works wonders for the room! The colorful floor tiles where they have their assigned seats never looked better!

Word wall; look at all those words they're supposed to learn this year! It's crazy! To the left of the word wall is our Spotlight Instrument of the Week. The first week is the triangle!! To the right of the word wall is our Composer of the Month. This month we are studying the Renaissance composer William Byrd.

Just look at all this color this year! I am so excited!!

This is probably my favorite addition this year! This is Arioso Land, where all creatures who live here speak the language SingSpeak! They don't understand you unless you sing to speak :) This works wonders for students who are afraid to sing by themselves, because they love to sing to our stuffed animal friends.

That's it! This is our awesome room for this year! I can't wait to meet all of our smiling new Kindergarten faces! Keep a look out for more updates! :)
