Staff Slate Bundles

With larger classes I was finding it a challenge to manage all my ledger lines, clefs and accidentals in regards to handing out, collecting and staying organized.  I created these Staff Slate Bundles that have saved me so much time and made more room for fun learning.

First, I went to an office supply store and bought plastic sheet protectors for business cards.  They have slots for 10 cards.  I cut them in half down the middle which created a perfect pocket for 1. Flats 2. Sharps 3. Double Flats/Sharps 4. Naturals and 5. Ledger Lines.

Then I used small binder clips to hold the clefs together.

Finally, I packaged them all together in little snack size ziplock bags.  Each one is marked with a music symbol sign so that students can identify one from another and if we find something is missing in one bundle, I can easily keep it separate from the others.

Students also think I am "super crafty" for making these, which is a bonus.  But the real benefit is the tons of time you will save from dealing out and collecting materials.

Please keep me posted when you have your moments of crafty genius
