PLP day changed our week up a bit, but here's what we did this week in....
Kindergarten- students continued to explore long and short sounds on percussion instruments. Students also learned the story "A Circle of Friends" with many different characters, including a rabbit, snake, butterfly, and fish.
1st/2nd grade- students learned the song "Bee, Bee, Bumblebee." We talked about matching pitch when singing, steady beat, rhythm, and the music staff. We even placed the rhythm of the song on the music staff and learned a fun game to go with the song.
3rd/4th grade- students learned to write out the rhythm of part of the song "Rocky Mountain" using music notes. Students continued to learn about identifying notes on the music staff, especially the notes B, A, and G. Students got to practice drawing notes on the music staff using erasable white boards.
5th grade- we begun to learn about/review reading notes of the music staff. Students filled in the missing parts of a story by reading notes on the staff to tell them the missing letters and words. We also learned about the percussion family of instruments and played jam rhythms using the four categories of unpitched percussion (drums, woods, metals, and shakers/scrapers.)
**Honors Choir forms due by next Friday, Sept. 23rd.
