Music in the Classroom and a Giveaway!

How many of us are teachers who use music in the classroom? Maybe a mom who uses music at home with your own children? I can raise a hand on both of those. Music is a tool that can be used for any subject or any grade level. Yes, even the big ones can learn through music! For English Language Learners in our classrooms or for anyone who is learning a second language, music is a tool that can be used in order to make learning a second language easier.

Reflecting on the 2015-2016 School Year

So I'm on day four of my summer vacation for the year. It was a good school year and I enjoyed it very much. At the end of the year I tend to look back on the highs and lows of the year and try to plan and make goals for the next year especially on things I can improve upon. Year 8 is in the books, but year 9 will be here before I know it! Year 9 is going to start off with a few surprises. Keep reading to find out the surprise I have in store for 2016-2017!
