It's back to school time! Yay! I am so happy to see all of you again! I am looking forward to a fun school year with you! Here's what's up so far! Grades 4 & 5 (Rooms 13, 17 & 19) are starting the year with the song "Somebody That I Used To Know" by Gotye. We began by watching a cover of the song by the group Walk of the Earth, where each member plays one part on the guitar. From left to right: Player 1: Uses the guitar as a percussion instrument Player 2: Plays the ostinato (a repeating pattern) which is actually just IIV to I chords Player 3: Plays the guitar melody Player 4: Plays the off-beat chords (on beats 2 & 4) Player 5: Plays accent chords Then we watched another version of the song: Gotye saw that so many people were doing covers of his song that he made a compilation video of a whole bunch of YouTube videos from around the world! Next week we will be learning to play this song on the Orff Instruments: From: http://musescore.com/user/24296/scores/49627 Grades 1/2/3 are learning the Tritsch Tratsch Polka by Johann Strauss. We have coupled it with Deborah Ziolkoski's story and movement about the ringmaster and tightrope walker from Fun With Composers. We are learning about ABA form in music (same/different/same), and a little bit about the life of composer Johann Strauss. Here is a recording of it - ask your child to show you the story and movement! Did you know that the Tritsch Tratsch Polka is also used in the video game Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games? It can be found in the Synchronized Swimming section! Pretty cool, huh?

The ending and start of a school year can be hectic. Not knowing who a student is, their goals, frequency, etc. and goodness knows accurate contact information for parents. This resource provides ALL that and MORE for incoming students. You can fill this out and share with the new SLP or other intended professional. This resource has vital information including: student and parent demographics and contact, caseload information such as IEP dates, goals, frequency, and a notes section to provide insight on the unique aspects of your students. Having this information is a support for the success of both the student and the new therapist or working professional. It will help start the year off smoothly and you can transition knowing you have done the best in closing out your transitioning caseload.

It is so important to not only get to know your students the first week of school, but to also have your students get to know YOU, their teacher. Kids LOVE knowing a little bit about their teacher and their life outside of the classroom :) Turn this Powerpoint and recording sheet into a little game. Present a question from the Powerpoint and have students first record their prediction. Then reveal the answer (you will have to edit the "answer" slides with info about YOU before playing this game...you can even insert your own photographs if you would like!) Students can write in the correct answer next to the prediction column on the recording sheet. I like to use this answer sheet as an informal handwriting and spelling assessment. This game is sure to be a hit with your kiddos! 15 questions with editable answers are included. The recording sheet appears on two pages. Slides are already set to print on 8.5x11 paper. Just copy front to back :) If you would rather have this game in Google Slides then click HERE . I also have a completely editable version in which you can add your own questions (10 total): • GETTING TO KNOW MY TEACHER GAME TEMPLATE IN GOOGLE SLIDES™ • GETTING TO KNOW MY TEACHER GAME TEMPLATE IN POWERPOINT *************************************************************************** Follow Me so you can be notified about my latest reources!
