Classes earn stars for good days in music. Once a class has earned 5 stars, they get a trip to the treat box. As you can imagine, it begins to get expensive keeping it full. I welcome your “input” :-) http://pyoung29.edublogs.org/2009/09/09/got-any-goodies-left-over-trinkets-or-kids-meal-toys-laying-around-i-could-use-them-for-my-treat-box-classes-earn-stars-for-good-days-in-music-once-a-class-has-earned-5-stars-they-get-a-trip/ http://pyoung29.edublogs.org/2009/09/09/got-any-goodies-left-over-trinkets-or-kids-meal-toys-laying-around-i-could-use-them-for-my-treat-box-classes-earn-stars-for-good-days-in-music-once-a-class-has-earned-5-stars-they-get-a-trip/#comments Thu, 10 Sep 2009 01:21:30 +0000 pyoung29 http://pyoung29.edublogs.org/?p=98 http://pyoung29.edublogs.org/2009/09/09/got-any-goodies-left-over-trinkets-or-kids-meal-toys-laying-around-i-could-use-them-for-my-treat-box-classes-earn-stars-for-good-days-in-music-once-a-class-has-earned-5-stars-they-get-a-trip/feed/ 1 Recorder Karate http://pyoung29.edublogs.org/2009/08/07/recorder-karate/ http://pyoung29.edublogs.org/2009/08/07/recorder-karate/#comments Fri, 07 Aug 2009 12:58:10 +0000 pyoung29 http://pyoung29.edublogs.org/?p=10 I use the curriculum called “Recorder Karate”.  It is based on the same principle as Karate, with the students earning “belts” by playing more  and more difficult songs.

The belts are actually colored yarn that they tie around the bell of their recorder.  The students love this and are allowed to progress at their own pace.  They are given time each during each class period to practice as well as to test for a new belt.  Once they earn the black belt, they receive a certificate.  If they are one of the frist 30 to earn a belt, they will be announced on WPAW.

You may purchase a recorder for your child from many places in the area such as  Target, WalMart, and Burrage Music Co.

You will need a Soprano Recorder.  You will not need to purchase any extra books, as the series I use allows me to copy music for student use.
