I embarked on a project of proportions I did not anticipate for my elementary students. There could have been ample time to compile all the necessary materials to have made this successful, but with assessment and unit deadlines, plus my own lesson planning, time wad not open my side
I wanted each of my elementary students to have their own composition folders like I had seen on other music teaching websites. I still think it is a great idea, but I also need to remember that the blogs I follow are comprised mainly of teachers in the 'burbs who have maybe no more than 23 kids in their classes...but I teach in the 'hood where there are upwards of 30 tiny people in my class at once, and just me alone to manage theme
To then attempt to get things ready in two week with virtually no planning time, 275 kid to teach everyday, still planning a wedding, and get ready for a 5-day trip with my kids to D.C.....great idea, wrong time :(
