This week in....
Kindergarten- we are continuing to work hard on learning our music for the spring concert. We began learning a new song called "Marching Rhythm." We played rhythm sticks and drums along with the different sections of the song. We also began singing some of our concert songs on the stairs in my room, which are similar to the risers we will be performing on in the auditorium.
1st/2nd grade- we continued learning the song "Ere the Waters of the Deep" for our spring concert. We worked hard on the song "Everybody Has Music Inside" and discussed concert etiquette. Students sang some concert songs on the stairs in my room, which are similar to the auditorium risers. We are also continuing to work on singing songs with sign language.
3rd/4th grade- we are continuing to perfect our new F# fingering on recorders with the song "Twinkle, Twinkle." Students assessed themselves in the four categories of recorder playing for that song. We also continued to work on "Get Up, Get Up, Get Up!" and "True Colors" in preparation for the spring concert. We reviewed note reading with a Mad Minutes activity, as well.
5th grade- we worked hard on music for our spring concert early this week. We focused on energy and style for "Start Your Day With a Song." We worked on memorizing a very wordy song called "Nifty Fifty." Students also learned about the brass family of instruments (last week was the woodwind family) and began learning how to identify the 5 main brass instruments by sound only.
Sing along tomorrow morning!
