If you read my posts regularly, you know that I love Half Price Books. Well, I went back for another dig and found a great deal. Apparently, it was the day for deals, though, because Target had a great find, too. Here's what I found:
Dollar Deal #1
The Fabulous Feud of Gilbet & Sullivan by Winter & Egielski
This book was in the clearance section for $1 - what a find! I haven't ventured into opera with my students, but the reviews for this book are wonderful. The colors are vivid and the story is humorous. Plus, I accompanied a performance of "The Mikado" in college. Hopefully I can come up with some way to incorporate this into my lessons in the coming year. If not, it's a great read to leave in my sub tub.
Dollar Deal #2
Finger Pointer - Target
Okay, these are hilarious...especially when my husband tried to pick his nose with them. Anyway, these are great for leading vocal explorations! I grabbed two in different colors (there were other colors, too). I don't have a smart board so the students usually draw in the air with their finger. These are so cute and the kids will LOVE them. I can't wait to use these! I wonder what other things I could them for.....

Thanks again for the shout-out! Love those pointers :)
ReplyDeleteOn the fun pointers: I gave my kiddos blank voice exploration sheets...if they brought them back colored they could use a pointer to demonstrate and then lead the class. Also good for rhythm pointing pages.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun idea! I'd love to send that home and have them share their learning with family. Great assessment, too!
