This week in music....
Kindergarten and first graders have been learning songs about fall and creating their own movements to depict the story the music tells using scarves. They have also added instrumental accompaniment on barred instruments.
Second graders have been auditioning in class for Spaced Out as well as playing with partner songs! Ask them about it; they think it is exciting!
Third graders have been continuing their study on melodic direction through movement, song, and instruments. Be on the look out for video postings soon of your children making music!
Fouth and fifth grade students have begun their recorder study. In preparation students have been playing with Music Ace, a computer game on the ActivBoard to review the note names on lines and spaces. So far Mr. Weigand's 4th grade class is leading with 2,030 points (all notes) and Mrs. Rivera's class with 2,150 (FACE). Parents, please make sure your child remembers to bring their recorders to class! This is part of the music participation grade. Please refer to the recorder letter on the right column of this blog for specifics. And as always, feel free to e-mail me with any questions you may have!
Thank you!
