  17. Music with Mrs Morneau –

    My previous fourth graders liked the sheets that I pulled throughout the second half of the year. I had full intentions of implementing the notebook this year, but I’m starting in a new district, so I don’t think I’ll be using it sequentially as a “notebook” but I am very excited to see how the students respond to the activities within the notebook! Thank you for such a thorough product 🙂
