Checklist for end of the year!

  1. Include your students in a big musical thank you to administration & staff for supporting the music program this year!
  2. Include your students in a big musical thank you to their parents and boosters!
  3. Tell your students to sign up for next year and give them a reason why they should!  (Music trip, friendship, choir/band/orchestra banquet)
  4. Clean and repair!  Do yourself a favor (or the colleague who follows you) when school ends by cleaning your classroom and repairing your equipment!
  5. Make time for some end-of-the-year fun in the classroom!  After the final concert when the days are winding down, consider having a fun day with Name That Tune, or Karaoke or Musical Charades.
  6. Plan now for next year.  Don’t forget to register for your first choice festival date!  (www.forummusicfestivals.com)
  7. Give yourself a pat on the back!  You made it through another school year.  Time to recharge and take care of yourself so you’ll be ready to start again with another roomful of fresh faces!
