Learning Objectives Posted by Quarter

I stole this awesome idea from Jennifer Gragson, one of my fellow elementary music teachers in Kansas City, Kansas.  I noticed one day when visiting her classroom that she had all of her learning objectives posted on her board, divided by grade, so that anyone who came in could see […]

When creating a bulletin board to advertise for an upcoming concert, pull out all the stops!  This bulletin board advertising the show could have been boring but sometimes it pays to go BIG!  I knew I needed something to go in the hallway to advertise for the show, but I was […]
