Don't forget to add music to your classroom. Yo Yo Ma has a great CD out called "The Silk Road" where he introduces and uses the musical instruments that were used in ancient China along the Silk Road. I use a variety of music in all my classes. It takes the students a moment to get used to different types of music, and then they start to ask for their favorites. I try to add both art and music to my classes, something that I had when I was in school.
