Kindness is a skill that our students will need throughout their lives These activities get kids thinking about kindness and specific ways they can be kind. They also give students chances to show kindness in their daily lives. There are ten different worksheets. Two of these different activities come in two versions to allow for more chances for the students to write and to create their own examples of kindness. Answer keys are included.

This is a set of 12 scenarios designed to get kids thinking about kindness. Each scenario presents a situation, and kids are asked to decide what kind thing could be done to make things better. The cards have situations that your students will find relevant to their lives. They come in color, black and white, plain text, and text with room at the bottom for a student response. There are several ways to use these. Here are a few suggestions. Role Playing Class Discussion Think Pair Share Students write/draw a solution

These notation sets include whole notes, half notes, quarter notes, eighth notes, and barred eighth notes in all of the Boomwhacker colors. There are three sets of notes. • Colored notes only • Solfege Notation • Pitch notation Each set of notes comes in a large or a small size. To make it easier for you to make music for your classrooms, I have also included a PowerPoint presentation that includes: • A large and a small staff that are proportional to the large and small notes. • Dots in each color to make dotted notes • Large and small leger lines that fit the large and small notes • Large and small barlines that fit in the large and small staffs. You are free to use these in all educational and small business commercial projects. If you use any of these notes in a product that is sold, please give credit.

These rhythm and beat strips are a really great way to help kids understand the relationship of note values to each other. They make abstract concepts more concrete and let the kids see and feel the relationship the notes have to each other. It really seems to ‘click’ with the kids once they start to use these. The beat strips are a great activity for stations, for dictation, and for composition. Kids also love testing each other, and with the option to have the counting pronunciations on the flip side, kids can test themselves and challenge a friend. I love to do music centers and stations, and these work great as a station. Each different note or note combination has its own page to make personalization and copying easy. Each page of notes has a corresponding page that can be copied on the back with the counting pronunciations on it, so kids can make a rhythm and then flip it over to check their understanding, or make a rhythm and test a friend! If copying both sides you’ll want to use colored paper or card stock since it shows through white paper. Printing each set on a different color paper makes it easier to clean up without mixing up the sets. There are four files in this set. 1.Beat strips in four different meters, with and without time signatures. 2.Standard notation notes and pronunciation. 3.Stick notation notes and pronunciation. 4.Iconic notation and pronunciation. I have included iconic notation squares for your littlest musicians, with icons for many popular ta and ti-ti songs. I like to say a phrase to a song and have the kids put down the rhythm that they hear. They are also very useful when we start to learn ta and ti-ti. They can make a rhythm and then flip them over to see what the notes are called. Iconic notation includes pictures for these songs: Teddy Bear Star Light Star Bright or Twinkle Twinkle Bluebird Snail, Snail Doggie Doggie Rain, Rain Frog in the Meadow Bernie Bee or Bee, Bee Mouse Mousie Cobbler

This is a bundle of favorite American folk songs. The songs are included in separate files and also as one big compilation file.

Maurice went for a walk and lost some of his notes! This fun activity makes it fun and easy to learn rhythms. Every time Maurice loses more notes, the more challenging it gets!
