In preschool, there are two sides to lesson planning: compiling ideas for every activity and then creating the materials. This plan does the compiling for the entire year. Set up in a flexible, powerpoint format, this resource provides you with 40 weeks of themed, kinder-prep activities as well as sample schedules, newsletters, extra resources for each month, and 6 additional themes to help kick off your creativity. With this resource, all you'll be left to do is print, cut, and color your ma

I know that creating an online curriculum is ridiculously challenging, especially for music, so I figured I would share this lesson with y'all. This is a lesson works through Google Forms, it discusses Major and Minor sounds. I've used it in the past as a self-guided lesson as well as a substitute lesson and it's worked very well. It works solely on recognizing the difference between them (this lesson does not go into detail such as raised or lowered scale degrees). Perfect for grades 4 and up

I've worked as a substitute teacher for years and I know better than anyone that some absences just can't be planned. This pack is for the K-6 sub who wants to be prepared for everyone or for the Elementary administration who wants a back up plan for every room on their campus. Each lesson is complete with notes on transitions, break ideas, activities listed by subject, printables for every listed activity, as well as "extra time" ideas.

I know that creating a digital curriculum on short notice can be stressful, so here's an easy plan for you to upload to your google sight, classroom, or whatever platform you've chosen. When teaching in a traditional classroom, you can make a complete lesson out of each of the stories and activities included, forming a 4 week composer unit. Visit my google site to see how the materials can be implemented: https://sites.google.com/view/mrs-watkins-music-room/6th-grade/composer-cornerThis produc

This lesson is perfect for introducing lines and spaces to your students and teaching them to begin identifying letters on the staff. Often the best way to get students to learn theory is to do it through games and all too often we teach note reading in lecture style. With this lesson, students will be teaching each other the concepts using TIC-TAC-TOE. I have used this lesson with 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grade classes and they would play the game for the whole lesson if I'd let them! Once the studen

I know that creating online lessons can be incredibly difficult, especially for music teachers, so I figured I'd share this lesson on Ostinatos with y'all. It works through google forms, making it easy to link into google sites or classrooms. This lesson walks students through defining, identifying, and creating their own ostinatos, first with words and then with an online keyboard. Make sure to check out the channels below!
