H.S. Orchestra
It's always difficult planning the last few weeks of school, after all the concerts are over. The kids are getting restless and it's hard keep them focused. This year I am trying something new. Here are my lesson plans for the last few weeks of school.
Monday: Photography (Have the students bring their cameras. Go inside and out - and take pictures of anything interesting.
Tuesday: Slide show (of photography) and pictures taken throughout the year.
Wednesday: Quote Blocks (Craft project: painting on wood)
THursday: Stain Glass Demonstration from a local artist
Friday: Violin maker: How string instruments made. If you cannot find one in the area, go online and show the students.
Monday: No school
Tuesday: Computer lab (Have the students explore as many music sites as possible, and then add them to a google doc. Along with the web site and description. They can go into it during the summer, when they have nothing to do, and explore some more.
Wed & Thursday: Movie: Love Story (1970's) We played the theme from Love Story at one of our concerts. No one had heard of it, so now's the chance.
Friday: Clean up Day - outside and inside.
Hope this gives you some ideas for next year!
