Admin love them, teachers love to hate them. Do those “I can” statements hold any value? Our opinion has evolved over the last few years.

We’ve said it before- our upper elementary students are COMPLETELY different than their lower grade counterparts. We almost have to become a completely different person when we teach 4th-6th graders. What does that look like for us? What are we working on to engage them?

Spiccato: What Do You Meme?

Round: To Ope Their Trunks

Why are upper graders so different?

What happens that makes them so self conscious- puberty, afraid of friends, ego-centric, social media, higher rates of anxiety

BUT they are still little kids

What no longer works- they will NOT be treated like little kids (unless it’s on their terms- requesting old activities in 5th grade with super passes)

OMG they don’t stop talking

Why centers?

What does that look like?

How to form groups- you get to choose 1 partner, I choose the rest of the group

What kind of activities?

How do you set it up?

What’s the goal?

Teaching is harder than ever with student behavior becoming more difficult, public school budgets on the decline, and nationwide teacher shortages. We talk about the challenging behaviors we see in our classrooms and brainstorm ideas for reaching our most oppositional students.

It’s a common story- one elementary music teacher is expected to teach general music, choir, and instrumental ensembles. This comes with many challenges, and we talk about what that means in our teaching lives. When we strive for excellence, what does that look like when we are stretched too thin?
