I just recently re-discovered my blog for teachers. I laughed out loud as I noticed I only posted once and never came back. Life gets busy...
Here is the birth of my idea. I realized that students are not always happy to be coming to their music class each day. WHAT?! I know it's crazy, right?
So I wanted to create something that students could look forward to everyday, in addition to the wonderful work we are doing in class. Something to help them feel excited and acknowledged, whether or not they are excited to be learning about and creating music.
Check this page for more information, and some samples of the student driven Grammy Awards! This is the first award system I have continued throughout the entire school year. The kids ask every day, "who is the Grammy winner!" It does take a small chunk out of my teaching time, but the rewards are great! Enjoy!
