Welcome to band class! This year you will be getting a band lesson for 1/3rd of the year during the "band mini." The remainder of the year you will have your lesson during PLC. I always post the lesson plan for the next day on the blog, so you can know what to expect. Those of you who have the band mini this week don't need your instruments. This week the lesson plan is the same for every band "mini."
Our Plan:
1) Welcome!
2) "Switch Spots! Quick!"
This will be a fun game. The band room chairs are all stacked away and there are just enough set up for us to have room. We are going to form a circle, move around, and get to know one another a bit.
3) Snowball fight!
I love this activity. It's a way for me to get know you guys a bit. It is an activity that allows you to anonymously share information about what your hopes and fears are about the upcoming band year, and helps me to address the band members' needs.
4) Band Survey!
After the snow ball fight I will do a little talking about leadership roles in band, and how you can get involved in our after school band council which meets after school the last Thursday of every month. The first band survey is your chance to make your voice heard on everything from what you'd like your leadership role to be, to what sort of music you'd like to play.
