This week in...
Kindergarten- students continued to learn about and move to music with walking, jogging, and galloping sounds. We began to learn a new song which we will perform in our spring concert called "Oh, A-Hunting We Will Go." We also listened to a musical story called "Abu Ali Counts His Donkeys."
1st/2nd grade- students played Rhythm Tic Tac Toe and began learning to song "Tingalayo", which will be performed at our spring concert. We also learned the song "Bow, Wow, Wow" and performed movements to go along with the song with many different partners.
3rd/4th grade- students moved to the song "Down the Road", which was a lot of fun. The song has two contrasting sections. During the A section of the song, we did a step-touch pattern. During the B section, students go to pick (from a list we made together) one way to move and one adverb (such as skip sleepily) and perform in with a partner.
5th grade- students learned about the composer Chopin and performed their response compositions on tubano drums. We also discussed choir- what is it, where did it come from, what does a good choir do, etc. Students watched a virtual choir video put together by composer Eric Whitacre.
It's almost the end of trimester 2! Time flies. Lots of this next week will be spent completing grades! Happy weekend to all.
