October Favorites 2019

Another month has flown by, and I'm glad for the chance to stop and look back on the past month and appreciate the highlights from school and home life- join me in looking back through my Instagram photos to reflect on the month of October!

1. Book Character Costume

My school did a book character day for Halloween this year and I dressed up as the teacher of music and magic from the book Twinkle. Super cute and appropriate, and so easy for me to just put on my daughter's fairy wings and be done with my costume!

2. New Planner Supplies

I have been restraining myself from going into any craft stores lately but I stopped by Michael's and stumbled upon some beautiful scrapbook paper and a giant book of amazing planner stickers- I've had so much fun using both in my planner! You can read about how I use these craft supplies to add fun and function to my planner in this post :)

3. Composition Lessons

I always do some composition lessons around this time and it was fun to pull out the rhythm manipulatives I use with my older students again to get them into the composing groove again with the new rhythms they're learning. It has made it so much easier for my students to create their own rhythms and notate them properly now that I have them use these first before they write! You can read about how I made them (super easy) in this post!

4. Music Education Blog Posts
