A Little Thank You Goes a Long Way!

I don’t think that other teachers realize just how much works goes into putting together a grade-level music concert.  You have to do lots of planning in advance, create props, figure out speaking parts, rehearse music over and over, prepare programs to hand out, work on publicity, send home notes, […]

Right and Left – Helping Kids Remember
