This week (1/3-1/6)

Welcome back after break!

This week in....

Kindergarten- we greeted each other after the break with a "Hello" echoing song. We learned "Car Song", "Little Blue Truck", and listened to a story called "Wiggle and Waggle." This helped to learn about music moving upward and downward. We also reviewed the term tempo, meaning to speed of the music.

1st/2nd grade- we learned the song "Tinker, Tailor", learned to put the notes of the song on the music staff, and learned a game to go with the song. Students learned the pitch "do" from the scale in the context of the song "Little Sally Walker." We learned to draw new notes on music white boards.

3rd/4th grade- we continued to read notes with Mad Minutes and learned "It's Raining" on recorders. We learned about home tone with the song "Trail to Mexico" and learned the song "Do Re Mi" from The Sound of Music.

5th grade- we reviewed and learned songs on recorders, including a latin tune called "The Time Traveler's Trombone." We learned about the composer Franz Schubert and wrote reactions to two of his pieces as well as Bob Marley's "Three Little Birds" on our music logs.
