How to Organize
Your Lesson Plan Notebook and Flash Card Sets
The flash cards are designed to make the music teacher’s life easier. Make your own or purchase and download from my Teachers Pay Teachers Store. You can easily find pocket dividers at Walmart or any office supply store. I like the clear ones so I can see the cards better. I have two sets—one for the rhythm and melody cards and one for the vocabulary cards. The vocabulary card set has a slit which is great for the symbol cards.
Take a long handled stapler and create two compartments on each divider—a small one on the right for your rhythm cards and a wider one on the left for the melody cards. You will be able to easily slip the cards in and out and then turn to the next grade level.

Use the Slit pocket for symbol cards
The Rhythm, Melody, and Vocabulary Flash Card sets are included in the Curriculum Bundle and are also available for download at my Teachers Pay Teachers Store. The color-coding that I used for each grade level was very important to my students. They could immediately come in and identify which word wall was theirs. And I also made sets for the PE and Art teachers so there was continuity and consistency across the related arts classes. Administrators were very impressed with our attention to those details.
