I am quite excited!!! In getting ready for this year, I have created a composition cart. I teach in a room in where I am unable to keep materials, so this is the perfect solution! I have included:
- On the Top Shelf:
- Crayons ~ for tracing Note Knacks : in individual plastic snack bags with colored dots so that kids know what color crayons go into each (of course they are NK colors!)
- Sharpened pencils ~ for writing conventional notation
- Cap erasers ~ because you know the erasers on the pencils will last all of 5 minutes!
- Colored binder clips ~ to hold compositions together: 2 of each of the 6 colors, one color for each of my classes.
- On the Middle Shelf:
- A pointer ~ for kids to use when they are leading the group in singing their compositions
- Pencil sharpeners
- Stickers ~ because you never know when you need them!
- Sentence strips ~ for compositions
- Lesson plan book ~ I will write all of plans down, I will write all of my plans down 🙂
- 3 line staff paper ~ for sol, mi , la
- 5 line staff paper ~ for older kids
- Note Knacks Lesson plan book 🙂 (plus any others I am using at the time)
- On the Lower Shelf:
- A Large Classroom Set of Note Knacks 🙂
