SUMMER BREAK

As we move into the summer months, I can't believe that another year of posting musical manipulatives has come to an end.  Please be sure to check out last week's posting for summer reading suggestions from the reading organization, IRA.

PLEASE RETURN TO OUR SITE IN AUGUST 2012 -- THERE WILL BE MANY MORE GREAT IDEAS AND ACTIVITIES FOR YOUR CLASSROOM.

IN THE MEANTIME, WE OFFER 2 PUBLICATIONS -- MUSICAL MANIPULATIVES 1 AND MUSICAL MANIPULATIVES 2.  EMAIL US AT creativemusicclassrooms@gmail.com for more information.

We'll be back with more activities and ideas starting in August of 2012.  Have a great summer -- and remember to review the posting for summer reading suggestions.
