Welcome to our Goodnight Moon Scrappy Story Quilt coloring activity! Bring the beloved children's book to life with this fun and interactive crafting project.

After reading the story Goodnight Moon, students will create a Goodnight Moon Scrappy Story Quilt.

- Cut and paste Goodnight Moon patches

- Assemble and color your very own Scrappy Quilt

Scrappy Patchwork Quilts

A scrappy quilt uses a variety of different fabrics that may or may not use a consistent theme. In this new version of cut and paste, students will make a scrappy quilt using a variety of pattern blocks included in the activity. The students must complete a set of questions or activities to know what numbered pattern to use and where it should be placed on their quilt. Each quilt has its own color scheme (color chart) and those are the colors students will need to create a one-of-a-kind scrappy quilt. Each quilt comes with a header, and some have additional activities students must complete to finish their quilts. Each quilt once assembled with header is 11x14 inches (does not include the size if a quilt has an additional activity).

When it comes time to discuss timbre, instrument families, ranges, and the alike, you need instant samples of instruments. I used to do it the old way -- finding a specific piece of music, cueing it up in the CD player or mp3, and implement it in my lesson. It took a lot of time and extra preparation on my part to find those clips and segment them for my class... Here's the solution -- Band and Orchestra Instrument Samples. Included are 25 REAL sampled instruments, all the way from the Piccolo down to the Marimba. Each sample is a little different and includes: - 10-20 seconds of each instrument sample - stylistic features (articulations included) - a good representation of range of the instrument - authentic sounds - various tempi In addition to individual instruments, you receive a woodwind, brass, and string section example, along with a string section pizzicato section as well Consider this your one stop shop for instrument examples! If you have any questions about any instruments, please feel free to comment or contact me at jasonlitt@gmail.com Thank you and enjoy!
