Check out these crazy teachers!

So, I do work with some of the best people around....I already knew that.  But, this latest secret project has me counting my blessings once again!  SO proud to be a Boger Beacon!

I can't give away all of the details just yet, but the teachers have been working on something special for the kids... I guess for now you will just have to wait and see what comes next, but here are some pictures while you are waiting...

Mrs. Rochelle joined Art Club

Mrs. Richardson is our fabulous art teacher here at Boger and I just couldn't resist joining Art Club with some of their awesomely fun activities....I made this container to add to my Halloween decorations.  I like to call him, "Franky Pumpkin Cat," after my sweet black cat Franky.

Set Design Crew...Still Working Hard!

Another week of work...such talented kids!















  MANY THANKS to Mrs. Richardson for all her help and talent!  We made an amazing set!

Set Design Crew

Here we are, a week later....check out the progress!

Set Design Crew - First Work Session

These pictures are of our awesome set design crew that designed our holiday musical set back in December.  Here they are during their first work session:

The group is a mix of talented 4th and 5th Grade students at Boger.
The scene is a "soda shop" and they had some great ideas!

Square One Art!

Our fabulous art teacher and our awesome PTO organize this amazing fundraiser every year called Square One Art.  Each student makes a piece of art and then they can order a variety of things with their artwork on it (shirts, keychains, etc.)  This year, I tried making one of my own! (top picture)  Mrs. Richardson had to help me with my xylophone, but I think it turned out pretty good!  I will definitely be buying something with the design on it.

This picture below is our Bel Canto Beacons Chorus Square One Art project!  I LOVE it so much...it has the name of every chorus member on it and can also be purchased on a t shirt or anything else that you want!  I'll definitely be getting one of these as well!

Curriculum Night 9/15/11

Our school had a good turn out for curriculum night this year!  Each of the Encore staff was paired with a grade level and I went with 4th grade.  I was happy to meet the parents of some of our fourth grade students, as well as give them some information about our Encore Program at Boger and also some information about the Music Program specifically.  4th graders start recorder in music this year!  Woo hoo!

First Full Week of School

We had a great first week of school at Boger!  I have seen all of the classes at least once and Chorus and Recorder Ensemble Auditions are in full swing.  I feel really great about this year. 

 

This board is in my room this year and each class has their own "Grammy" in honor of this year's theme.  When they come to music class, they are trying to earn stickers to put on their grammy.  The more stickers, the more choices of special activities they can have or other special treats.  But, I don't tell them how many they need for certain things, they just have to keep earning them and then I surprise them with fun stuff!  The kids (and the teachers) are excited about it and responding well!
 
I hope everyone has a great long weekend!  See you Tuesday!

Open House!

  This bulletin board was made for open house at Boger.  Our theme this year is "All the World's a Stage" and this display features our mascot, Blaze, rocking out on electric guitar.  The PE teacher, art teacher, and myself put this together.....what a great team to be a part of!  I am super excited for the theme this year and to see ALL of the different ways our Boger Beacons shine! :-)

Welcome to Art and Music!

  This is another awesome bulletin board made by the art teacher and myself.  It started with the idea that we needed to get something up really quickly, and then turned into another great project!  This is what you see outside of our classroom before you come to music or art class.  I love it!  I think we are ready for the kids tomorrow!
