As we approach the end of the school year, does anyone else just think "I can get through this, I can get through this!" I feel like the Little Engine that Could. Although sometimes I feel like the Little Engine that Can't.
By the end of the year, I let loose the reins a little bit in the class and let them take charge of their learning. I give them more options on what we can do with a piece and encourage them to make up their own parts to songs that we are doing. Oftentimes, they add their own contrasting sections as well as intros and codas.
Sometimes it's hard not to just say, "LET'S PLAY GAMES FOR THE NEXT FOUR WEEKS" because I'm so tired. And they go on SO many field trips and have SO many assemblies that it is hard to stay consistent with each class. But somehow I make it through.
Does anyone have any favorite end of the year activities they like to do with their students?
