Oh my goodness! How busy are we this time of year? It is a little intense - but exciting!
So, our school had a huge mold problem this year and many classrooms had a wall that was replaced (including mine). We weren't able to set up our rooms until last weekend and school starts tomorrow! Crunch time!
One positive thing (beside being mold-free) occurred - one of my walls received a new paint color! I'm loving the brightness (and the fact that I didn't have to use so much butcher paper to cover the walls).
Here are a few pictures from Owl Land (I know, there is not a 12 step process for an owl addiction):

| Entrance to Room |

| Desk Corner |
 |
| Fat Little Owls ;) |
 |
| Front of Room |
One handy idea I grabbed from somewhere (I forget!) was including clipboards (below objectives) with vocabulary cards for each grade-level - easy to grab or switch out words when I need to.
 |
| Word Wall (BLUE WALL) and Large Magnetic Staff Board (I love it) |
 |
| Music/Melody Street (with vocab for high, low, pitch, melody, phrase, step, skip, and leap) |
|
 |
| Close-Up of Music Street - (Fa and Ti will come soon for older students) |
|
 |
| Music Tech Center |
 |
| Composer Corner |
 |
| Add caption |
 |
| Sign-Out Spot (2-5 only) |
 |
| 7 Habits Posters (clip on "Habit of the Day/Week") |
 |
| Data Tracking Wall (more about that soon) |
 |
| 7 Habits-based mission statement |
 |
| 7-Habits Themed Bulletin Board (each quarter note has a habit with language about how it looks in the music room) |
 |
| The kids always ask, "Why are those owls so angry?" |
 |
| New Leadership Recognition board - one leader per grade per week chosen by me (they get their picture out here, name on the announcements, and a special "owl" seat during class) | | | | |

I can't wait to see your gorgeous rooms as you get back into your rooms this month! Wishing you all a successful year and another year of sharing and learning between us!
