How do you advertise a life drawing course? You could photocopy posters from the last session for the umpteenth time and hang them on a wall, or maybe take out a tiny ad in the local paper and hope some people show up. Except that’s what we’ve been doing for decades. Creative duo Wriggles & Robbins decided to take a new approach in this brief clip advertising drawing courses at The Book Club in London. More

Do you use Pandora in your classroom? In case you don't know what Pandora is, it's a free site that lets you stream music. You do need to create an account though, and the free account does have some inconveniences: it only plays for one hour and then you have to refresh, and there are commercials that are much louder than the music. But my kiddos have become used to the commercials, and we like to laugh at them and make fun of them. Commercial: "Do you need a new ________?" And then I'll say something like, "NO! Now be quiet and let us work!" I can't stand silence, so Pandora has been a life saver in my classroom. I used to play music on my iPod, but I got so tired of hearing the same songs over and over and over and over..... Maybe next year I'll upgrade to the commercial-free account. Maybe... Anyway, this post was actually inspired by a question I asked on my Facebook page. My Facebook friend, Laura, suggested that I compile everyone's favorite stations into a blog post. So VOILA! Here we are! I only stream instrumental music. I want my kids to stay focused on their work and not be singing along. Two of my favorites are Solo Piano Radio and Lorie Line Radio. I recently discovered the Lorie Line station and I LOVE it, which is what sparked my Facebook question. It plays a lot more pop songs than Solo Piano Radio. My favorite thing about both of these stations is that they both play some church hymns, which personally brings me a lot of peace and calmness. Again, there are no words, and I'm thinking most of the kids don't know that they're hymns, so I'm OK with it. Although, two days ago, one of my kiddos was excited to tell me, "Mrs. Nerby, they play this song at my church!" His comment made me smile :) At Christmastime, I also like to play Peaceful Holidays Radio. When we learn about Native Americans, I like to play Native American Drums and Flute Music during work time. Of course I have a few stations for me for when the kids are at specials: an assortment of pop and 80s stations, as well as a calm one called Easy Listening Radio. Although be forewarned... it does tend to overplay Michael Buble.... Here are some of my Facebook Friends' favorite stations, as well as stations that were suggested by blog readers in the comments. I haven't listened to them all, so you will want to check them out for yourself before you use in your classroom: * The Piano Guys (LOTS of "likes" for this one, and I have to agree! LOVE!!) * Spa Suite * Radio for Kids * Elizabeth Mitchell * New Age Instrumental * Mozart for Kids * Kids Bop * Jack Johnson Children's Radio * Rainforest * Disney * Children's Indie Music * Vitamin String Quartet * Calm Meditation Radio * 2cellos * The Mozart Effect * Relaxation Radio * Clair de Lune * Nature Sounds * Ambient Instrumental * Classical Radio * Classical Medley * Yiruma Station * Classical Guitar * Rockabye Baby * Kenny G Radio * Film Scores Radio * The O'Neill Brothers * Sleepytime Tunes (Children's) * Children's Instrumental Ensemble * Calming Rain with Piano * Halloween Theme * Classical for Studying * Lindsey Sterling * Yo Yo Ma Radio * Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Radio * Thomas Newman Radio * Kevin Kern Radio * Jim Brickman * Toddler Radio * White Noise Radio Do you have any other favorites? Comment below and I'll add them to the list!

Lets learn English together step by step!
Creating classroom agreements or a class mission statement is a must-do in your first week with a new class. I've found the book, "If Everybody Did" by Jo Ann Stover a fantastic way to lead into discussion on what we should do in our own classroom. I've always worked with my whole class to create their agreements and split them into groups to illustrate them. Here are some of the ways I've displayed them over the years. Then I'll show you some inspiring examples I've happened upon online. This Angry Birds display was from my first year teaching in a PYP school (clearly I did not yet know that the word "rules" is not used in PYP schools. Perhaps that should have read, "Our Golden Promises.") The children wrote and illustrated the agreements on giant eggs. Unfortunately I didn't get a photo of the finished display! Next came these hanging owls. The children illustrated the agreements on their tummies. And I'm sure you'll recognise these Lego superheroes from my blog header. They've been used to hold up classroom agreements for the last few years. They were painstakingly and lovingly made so I couldn't part with them after only a year. Here they are hanging at the front of my classroom. Lately I was really inspired by these class mission statements shared by Susan Powers' (author of the PYP Teaching Tools blog) on Instagram. If you don't already follow Susan online, make sure you do so! She shares fantastic, thought-provoking posts about inquiry-based learning in the PYP. This gorgeous Class Promise display was shared by Jennifer Jones. I love how simple this one from Upper Grade are Awesome is! The key words really stand out in colour. Naturally in a PYP school, you would not use the word "rules." However, the process she and her class have carried out to make these agreements is perfectly PYP-friendly!

El mundo contemporáneo es un atisbo de la realidad, una visión mediada por los demás, llena de apariencia, de falacias, de incertidumbres, de irrealidades.
