Like most teachers I am such a fan of dollar stores. I can shop there to organize my classroom, create new workstations and add a little flair to my bulletin boards. I'd like to share with you just a few of my favorite finds! Flyswatters My kids are always a little in awe when they see my collection of flyswatters. (This pictures shows most of my collection.) I sometimes use them as pointers when projecting things on my white board, but most often these are used for Swat the Staff or Swat the Rhythm games. With Swat the Staff, I use masking tape to create a large staff on my board. Two students (from two different teams) stand at the board. I call a pitch name and the first person to correctly swat where that pitch should be gets a point for their team! Fun! You can check out some of my Swat the Rhythm games in my store. Plastic Fruit, Veggies and Food I try to do all of my singing assessments with my primary students in a game like setting. "Doggie, Doggie, Where's Your Bone" and other singing games help them relax and I can assess their ability to match pitch, sing in head voice or whatever we are assessing that day. The plastic fruits, veggies and food are great for this kind of thing. The teacher sings "Who has the lemon?" (sol mi la sol mi) The student with the lemon sings back "I have the lemon!" (sol mi la sol mi) Little Cars At one time I'm pretty sure I had a thousand of these little cars in every nook and cranny of my house! It wasn't quite that many, but it certainly seemed like they were constantly multiplying. Now, they are a music workstation! I added stickers to them and used the Music Town Parking Center file to create an interactive activity that my kiddos really enjoy. I've used this fabulously with 2nd and 3rd graders. At some dollar stores you can get 3 little cars for $1. Score! Clothespins I love using clothespins for assessment. Yep. Assessment. I painted some wooden clothespins, drew rhythms in various meters and had students pin them to a piece of paper that I had drawn a 2, 3 and 4 on. If the pattern had four beats, they pinned it to the side of the paper with the 4 and so on. Another GREAT activity for assessment is Clip It. I have several of these sets that you might be interested in: Animals, Camping, Careers, Christmas, Presidents, Thanksgiving and Instruments. Students match the syllables of each picture with one of the rhythms by clipping them. Balls I like to use balls to bounce to the beat and for workstations like Note Toss (click to learn more) and Snowball Scoop (click for more details). Alphabet Puzzles These inexpensive alphabet puzzles are great manipulatives for Kindergarten and First Grade. We sing the alphabet song while touching each letter. Then I'll pick a letter and we will all remove that piece. Next we sing through the alphabet song again but when we get to the missing letter we say "shh". Later this knowledge translates to a quarter rest. In first grade, the students can handle this activity on their own in small groups and I set it up as a workstation. Craft Sticks Craft sticks are handy for many reasons. Two of my favorite uses are creating groups and rhythmic dictation. To learn more about how to create classroom groups with craft sticks read THIS post. For rhythmic dictation, I show students how to create quarter notes and barred eighth notes with the sticks. I clap patterns and the students "notate" them with the craft sticks. When they have mastered that we figure out how to create a quarter rest with the craft sticks. I've found that students are really creative with this! Pipe Cleaners My pal, Kristin Lukow, introduced me to this idea and I LOVE it! The kids do too! We listen to some soothing music while fashioning pipe cleaners into different notes. For some notes or symbols students really have to use their problem solving skills to create them with only a pipe cleaner. This activity gives students a chance to identify notes and symbols in a new way. Flashlights I have just started to experiment with using flashlights as manipulatives for listening activities and movement. I've used them in performance before (see THIS rendition of "Fireflies") and I've been in workshops with the aaahhhmaaazing Artie Almeida who used them during listening activities. Artie calls if flashlight painting and it is an amazing way to keep 100% of your students engaged. Here's a video that might explain a little more. Play Dough There is just something about play dough that makes me smile. The kids love to have the opportunity to use it in music class. I use THESE play dough mats as a workstation. The mats name each symbol or note and contain and brief definition. Styrofoam Coolers Weird, right? These little coolers are PERFECT for creating the Snowball Scoop workstation I've described in a previous post. They are also great for decorating a winter/snow themed concert. At a buck each you can by dozens and create a wide variety of "snow" structures. Dip and Veggie Trays Once I started creating workstations with these dip and veggie trays it was pretty hard to stop! Check out: Dip and Chip Workstations Dip Tray Workstations: Instrument Families and Note Values (freebie here!) Dip Tray Workstations: Bottle Cap Pitches Pool Noodles If you are a regular reader of my blog, you know that I am a big fan of using pool noodles in creative ways. Noodle ponies, steady beat swords and unique bulletin board displays are just some of the ways that I have used them.

This is the easiest project and there are so many great ideas online. Some people go into great detail with amazing labels and such. I tend to keep mine simple with what I have on hand. So Here are some of my Witch jars. For some I just use things from my pantry. I gave them new labels and put a little piece of cheese cloth and twine around the top. I wrote the real name of what's inside on the lids in sharpie. They stay this way year round. With a little imagination ordinary ingredients become creepy. Eye of Newt( pepper corns) Lizard Toes (whole cloves) Scales of sea snake (fennel seeds) Pixie Dust (pastel sanding sugar) Eye of Lycanthrope ( white cherries) Vampire Blood (water, corn syrup, and red food color with a touch of blue) Squid Ink (water, vinegar and black food coloring) Liver of Toad (artichoke hearts) Eye Of Goblin (red olives) I also take empty jars and fill them with things. I like to get interesting jars and bottles. For example the shape of this bottle is perfect. . Of course pasta, jelly, applesauce and giant pickle jars are wonderful. I also like the small ones like minced garlic, horseradish. You can just paint the lids black if you want. Or like above rip up cheese cloth and spray it with tea or coffee to antique it. Then wrap it around the tops like above with twine. You don't even need labels you can just put rubber bugs and stuff in them with water and food colors. Hand sanitizer from dollar store is also good and it suspends things somewhat better and looks all slimy. If you want the labels here is a easy how to. Find a font you like. Not necessarily creepy. This cursive font will work great. You can download Halloween fonts online too. I rip the paper so the torn side is on the front of the label. Print side up, tearing towards me slowly. carefully wrinkle it up and unfold. soak in coffee or tea for a few hours. Dump off the coffee and allow to dry completely. If you pick them up too soon and they will fall apart. Then just mod podge them on or just glue them to your jars. If you are doing a room with a black light tonic water is black light reflective. Or you can take take an old sharpies or a pac form dollar tree. Take the ink sponge thing out and soak them in your water. Another thing that looks great in these is the magic grow things they sell everywhere. I got these at.....where else.... the dollar store. They look so creepy in water with food colors. I don't even label them. This is good for a mad scientists lab too. I chopped up the snake... looks so gross and cool! I don't label them.
