Onto the 2nd Week!!!

Oh man!!  I can't believe that we are already starting our second week of school!  Last week flew by and we did lots of different things.  On our first day at school we had an all-school assembly to talk about "The Wheatlands Way" and really focused on leading the pack and excellence being a habit here at school.


Mr. Gerard Making Sure We Understand The Wheatlands Way!

During the first week in music class we do a few things.  On the first day, I always like to play a game of some sort and ask the kids their favorite thing they did that summer.  It is always fun when they get to share things like that with me!

On the second day that week, each class got to watch the Miss Rains expectations video.  To save my voice I made a video with a tour around the music room and my recorded voice to remind kids about the expectations in music class.  There were even guest appearances in the video by a few Wheatlands celebs like Mr. Gerard to model what not to do with problems like finding trash on the floor or having a broken pencil.  They helped us learn how to be a problem solver and not a problem maker!  Overall, it's looking like it is going to be a great start to the year in music!!!


Watching the Tour of the Music Room!


Our video also includes a song about Not Tattling!!
