  1. Number Agility –

    Good Resource, the lay out of the pages and the peices the students cut out to match with them is a bit confusing. It took alot of time to match the sheets to set up activities.

      Hi Amanda–thank you for the meaningful feedback. I’m currently working on revisions to this product, and I will definitely keep the layout of pages in mind as I go forward. Thanks again 🙂

      **Product updated on November 16, 2015. I added additional hyperlinks to make it easier to find the pages that correspond with the cutouts. Please check under “my purchases” for the revised file 🙂

    These are great! I’m using them with some very high achieving students and they’re great! We’re working on a lot of really cool concepts using these as a jumping off point!

    • Yellow Brick Road Music –

      Thank you for the constructive feedback! I really do appreciate it as it helps me to continually improve my products. I have plans currently to upgrade the file with a more mature design option, in addition to the current design. When the upgrade is complete, I’ll be sending a note to all followers letting them know of the changes. Thanks again!

    This is a fantastic packet for my 6th grade general music class. Illustrations are clear, fun and allow for student creativity. I would love to see a little more with treble clef pitch reading.

    • Yellow Brick Road Music –

      Thank you! This feedback is extremely helpful to me. I will definitely keep your suggestion in mind for my next round of revisions 🙂

    This is amazing! In addition to all my elementary classes I teach, I was given middle school general music this year and was kind of at a list of what to do with them. This helps immensely!

      That is wonderful to hear! I’m so glad it will help you with your new addition. Have a great year 🙂
