Welcome back after spring break!
This week in...
Kindergarten- we began discussing our upcoming spring concert (Wednesday May 9th!) and are getting excited about it! We started to learn one of our new concert songs, "The Whole World." We listened and moved to a story called "The Magical, Musical Bridge." We also learned to hear the difference between lullabies and marches through a variety of examples.
1st/2nd grade- we have started to prepare for our spring concert (Wednesday May 9th!) by learning one of our concert songs, "With My Own Two Hands." We reviewed our foot motions that go with music, including walking, jogging, skipping, and galloping. We used these foot motions with several pieces of music, and gained practice identifying sectional form. We learned a fun song called "The Opposite Rap" and moved in many ways to show the steady beat.
3rd/4th grade- we took some time to review what we know on recorders, including the songs "It's Raining" and "Old MacDonald." Each student was assessed on the first measure of "Old MacDonald", and each student also assessed themselves on the entire song in our four categories of recorder playing. We also began to learn one of our spring concert songs, (Thursday May 10th!) "Lean on Me."
5th grade- Sadly I missed seeing half of 5th grade classes quite a bit this week because of the TCAP testing. For the classes that I did see, we reviewed some songs on recorders, did some note-reading with Mad Minutes, and listened to one of the songs we will be performing in our spring concert, (Thursday May 10th!) "Blackbird."
