FREE MISC. LESSON - “MUSIC THEORY: Treble and Bass Note Names: reference guide and worksheets”

by MusicTeacherResources
2nd - 8th Grade

This product is great for students to have as a reference guide for the names of the lines and spaces on the treble and bass stave.

♫ The first page contains a diagram showing each note on the stave and its position on the keyboard.

♫The second page outlines separately the pitch names of the lines and spaces on the treble stave and sentences that can be used to help students remember them in order.

♫ The third page outlines separately the pitch names of the lines and spaces on the bass stave and sentences that can be used to help students remember them in order.

♫ Pages four and five are for students to write out in music notation, as many words as they can, using only the notes of the stave.

****A very useful resource for you to have!****

The Mini Reference Books are also worth a look.

My students love them and use them often as a handy little reference guide:

Silly Icebreaker Questions for Social Skills and Conversation

by Kathy Babineau
Grades 2-6

Silly Icebreaker Questions

This easy to use, super low prep question set is versatile and great to use to work on conversational skills, turn taking, respectful listening, giving reasons for opinions, learning how to agree to disagree and more.

I like to use these questions to focus on conversational turn-taking and social skills with my students in 1:1 sessions with me and in small group activities. Many of my students have difficulty showing interest when others are speaking, using conversational fillers, taking turns in conversation, asking follow-up questions, maintaining topic, and learning how to respectfully listen to others who may have a different opinion. These questions, were originally designed for addressing these social skills, however, this product is versatile and can also be used as simple conversational icebreaker questions for small group and classroom use. These are also great for simple writing assignments or journal prompts.

40 Silly Icebreaker questions in color format (b/w easy print option also provided)

To prepare this product for use, simply print either the color or B/W version of the cards, cut apart, and laminate if desired.
