Number Formation Rhyme Posters - 1-10 Pastel and Rainbow Class Decor
By Keeper of Kinders
What is the best way to teach number formation? Put it to a rhyme of course!
Help your young learners remember how to write numbers 1-10 with these fun rhymes. Not only does it help them remember during handwriting time, but it also helps them make a visual connection when recognizing numbers.
If you have students struggling with number recognition, practice the rhymes in a variety of ways: sand, whiteboard/marker, bumpy boards, air write, etc. so they get a full multi-sensory experience to solidify number recognition.
Added bonus of a pastel or rainbow one page reference sheet for teachers to laminate and keep at small group table, front board or anywhere you practice numbers!
I have included both a pastel and rainbow color set to mach any classroom decor!

NEW! Geography, History, 9-11 We Remember, World Trade Center, Patriot Day
By Geography & Math Made Easy
IMPORTANT: Give students the option to choose not to participate in this lesson if they are anyway connected to the event. Let them know in advance earlier in the week prior to the day of the lesson and allow them to come to you in confidentiality if they wish not to participate. Make another arrangement for that student for the one class period.
This is a factual lesson and does not ask students to imagine or place themselves in others' shoes, yet if a child had a family member or experienced the event his/herself, you may not want to subject them to ANY lesson on this topic. This lesson gives a timeline of events and facts about the event.
ALSO NOTE: The closing activity incorporates a song by the Beastie Boys: "Listen, All You New Yorkers" which was written after 9/11 as a Love Letter to New York. (Look it up on Youtube) Depending on your classroom/school culture, you may or may not choose to use this. This is not mandatory for the lesson, but song and music is a good way to engage students. In saying this, the lyrics included in the lesson have been rewritten to take out questionable wording/content. i.e. LSD, Porno, Hell. These words have been replaced with other words. However, the words cannot be taken out of the Youtube video or song. The lyrics can be used without the video or song, but will not be as effective. IMPORTANT: YOU WILL WANT TO LISTEN TO THE SONG PRIOR TO PURCHASE as this song may not be appropriate for all students/classes/schools. You as the educator are responsible for gaging what is appropriate for your students and are responsible for what is presented to them.
THIS LESSON CAN BE USED WITHOUT THE SONG as it is the closing activity.
OBJECTIVE:
o The learner will become familiar with the events that lead to the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center in New York
o The learner will work in a cooperative group to read about the attack on the World Trade Center outlines in a timeline of the events of the day.
o 10 Facts Cards for the Introduction (Included & Optional
o The learner will understand the impact of this event on the life of an individual through discussion.
o Index cards for questions.
o The learner will listen or watch and then examine the lyrics to the song: A letter to New York: Listen, All You New Yorkers by the Beastie Boys, 2004.
MATERIALS:
o Student group reading assignment included.
o Copy of Lyrics to Listen, All You New Yorkers (included) Rewritten into a cleaner version to replace words like: hell, LSD, Porno, etc.
o Suggested YouTube video for viewing (or) YouTube or Spotify audio version.
Please note that links often change. If this happens, please type in the title of the video in a search engine or on You-
Tube; it should easily be located. Unfortunately, there isn’t a way around this issue. Please watch and use your discernment
on the appropriateness of the presentation for your students, their experiences, and their maturity levels.
o Technology to play the song or show the video.
o Index cards for the “Question Cards” for the reading assignment.
THIS LESSON INCLUDES:
o Detailed Teacher Guide
o Intro Activity
o Reading Activity
o Closing Activity.

Whether you have experience teaching music or not, this unit is for you. Have a small budget or no budget for teaching music? I have included ways to make music with your students for very little money. I have used this unit for 5 years teaching music and every year the students love it. This unit will give you a semester (or half a year) worth of material to use with approximately 2 periods of music per week.
What is bucket drumming?
Bucket drumming is a relatively inexpensive way to bring rhythmic practices into the classroom. This unit is designed to be accessible for all teachers to use, regardless of musical training. The use of familiar words helps both teachers and students learn simple rhythms together. The rhythms increase in difficulty and there are options for easy, medium, and hard rhythms. This allows for easy modifications and accommodations ensuring that students of all abilities are successful in this unit. I have taught variations of this unit with grade 6-8 students for over 5 years with success, and these lessons can be modified for other grade levels.
In my experience, students love bucket drumming and enjoy the lessons in this unit. One activity that you can use when you have a few extra minutes is the Elimination Game, and students LOVE it! It can be used as a great warm-up game and to reinforce the skills taught in this unit.
This unit includes games, lessons, and activities to help strengthen ear training, encourage active listening, develop rhythmic abilities, develop composition skills, explore creativity, and most importantly, to have fun! I have also included some helpful information to get bucket drumming started in your classroom. Included in this unit are lessons, games. activities, and rubrics where needed. There are a solid 21 – 31 periods worth of work included in this unit (possibly more).
Included below are the overall lesson plans and activities included in this unit. Most “lessons” can be used for multiple periods and the approximate number of periods is included in brackets beside the activity. I have based these periods on approximately 45 minutes each. These lessons include opportunities to read music, compose, and perform.
Introduction to Bucket Drumming (1 - 2 periods)
Elimination Game (1 period)
Elements of Music (2 – 3 periods)
Rhythm Cards (2 – 3 period)
8 Bar Rhythm Challenges (4 – 6 periods)
Let’s Compose! (5 – 6 periods)
Stomp Composition (6 – 10 periods)
If you have any questions, please let me know! Happy Bucket Drumming!

Sk8er Boi, Avril Lavigne - BUCKET DRUMMING!
By Jason Litt
Need to connect with your kids with their pop music through general music? Involve them in bucket drumming with Avril Lavigne's smash hit from 2002, "Sk8r Boi"!
20 YEAR ANNIVERSARY! (are we really that old?)
There are five all-color coded slides along with the form identifiers listed next to each phrase. Discuss form with the students and teach them (by rote) the rhythms on the powerpoint with the corresponding repeats (most are repeated 7 times). Then, apply it to drums!
All regular notation is to be played on the buckets (or drums, or ground, however you wish), and the X notation (with a down stem) are played as stick clicks above their head (or you could apply it to a tambourine or other auxiliary instrument)
Here's the track so you can play along...
