This week in.......(is anyone reading?!?!?)
Kindergarten- we took a quiz about hearing the difference between marches and lullabies. We began learning a new song for our spring concert called "Purple Cow", which is a silly song to the tune of "Yankee Doodle Dandy." We continued to work on "Oh, A-Hunting We Will Go" and learned about vocal warmups.
1st/2nd grade- we worked on one of our concert songs with sign language, "You Are My Sunshine." Earlier this year, we learned the song "There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly." Later, we read the story There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Bell. This week, we read the story There Was a Coyote Who Swallowed a Flea and we later paired percussion instruments with it. We began learning another concert song, "Everybody Has Music Inside."Lastly, we spent some time learning about the percussion family of instruments, including honing our ability to identify the different types of percussion by sound only!
3rd/4th grade- we did some more work with our recorders and assessed our progress on the song "Old MacDonald." We learned a new note, F#, and learned to play "Twinkle, Twinkle." We began learning a new song for our spring concert called "King Kong Kitchie Kitchie Ki Me O."
5th grade- Again, this week was difficult because of TCAP testing, but we still managed to get some things accomplished. We have started working on the song "Blackbird" in preparation for our spring concert. We started learning another concert song, "Nifty Fifty", which names all 50 states. We also learned to play two new notes on recorders that we used to play the song "When the Saints Go Marching In."
There will be a sing along coming up on April 13! Happy weekend.
