WHY CELEBRATE MUSIC IN OUR SCHOOLS MONTH?
Have you met people who don’t care about music education? Maybe your principal doesn’t even “get it”? It’s pretty subjective- but since we’re all music educators, then we know how important music education is for each and every child. (just click on the link to subscribe to the FREE RESOURCE LIBRARY and weekly NEWSLETTER) I’ve noticed a lot of kids like to color. So, I made up a product that gives my “artistic” students an opportunity to shine in music class. Here’s 3 ways this FREE RESOURCE can be used during your MIOSM celebrations.

MUSIC CLASS ACTIVITY #2 MIOSM WRITING ACTIVITY

MUSIC CLASS ACTIVITY #3 MIOSM WALL QUILT
MIOSM WALL QUILT
WOW! PRINT ENOUGH FOR THE ENTIRE SCHOOL!
I made the Card size sheets for each student in the whole school. The Strings and Band teaches will have their students fill out the cards. Then we are going to make a big quilt up in the front foyer. I will use the lettering at the top of the “quilt”. Then I’ll use some yard to divide the paper into 600 squares. Then my 4th graders are going to be the ones to fill in the quilt with our Cool Music comments.
Green paper will look great as a background to go with MARCH themed activities like this Free Resource you can get by SUBSCRIBING to the FREE RESOURCE LIBRARY.
I will use Green paper as the background. We’ll also use the music symbols to create a border around the outside of the quilt.
In addition, these graphics can be used as the letters in your bulletin board. They come in jpg. files.
Letters and words you can print or print and trace—
Whatever you do-celebrating MIOSM, March is music in our schools month, can be a fun experience for the whole school and great reminder to some of the ways MUSIC reaches all students.
When it’s finished, it will look something like this:
