Bulletin Boards

It's a new year and I am at a new school. I have loved meeting some of the parents and students at our "Meet the Teacher" night. The faculty here at Dan Mills are superb.

I thought I would share some of my bulletin boards from present to past. I wish I could find some of my other favorites, but I've been teaching too long. Lol

Students can work by themselves matching the eggs, or with partners. I used a Sharpie and so far it's not rubbed off. Let's see how long they last.

This week I have used flags to teach the form of a song. The students loved using the flags! It was a great way to see if the students could really identify the sections of a song. They did extremely well! It was a blast!

Paper Assessments vs Performance Assessments

These are just a few (very few) of the paper assessments that were given in my music class. I use a variety of ways to assess the students because we are all so different. In my opinion, no classroom teacher should only use ONE method of testing their students, that's why I use multiple types of assessments.

I LOVE it when 100% of my students GET IT! This week my 4th and 3rd graders demonstrated basic rhythmic patterns in duple and triple meter. They ROCKED it. I wish I would have taken some audio because it sounded fantastic.

Classifying Instruments of the Orchestra

6.2.2 Identify, visually, teacher-selected orchestral instruments and group into families.

The students had a great time during this lesson. There was a lot of communicating between students, so it was not a particularly quiet lesson, but it was informative, cooperative, and beneficial. After the teams classified the instruments, I then asked them to organized the families from the highest pitched instrument, to the lowest sounding instrument.

The students really enjoyed this lesson. I made two sets of folders for each instrument family. There was a team leader that passed out the instrument cards and many techniques were used to complete the task. Another fun time of learning in the music room.

Lakeview has a piano lab. How did we receive a piano lab? VH1 donated one to our school via the VH1 Save the Music Program. This photo is from a lesson where students created their own melody with some teacher guidelines. This is a photo of two students playing their compositions on the VH1 donated keyboard.

    WELCOME

    Welcome to Mrs. Folsom's music web site. Did you know that by being involved in music class, you can learn several things that can help you in real life?
