This week (10/8-10/11)

This week in...

Kindergarten- students listened to different musical selections and had to determine if each had mostly high or mostly low sounds. If they heard mostly high sounds, they circled the picture of the mountain. If they heard mostly low sounds, they circled the picture of the submarine. We also listened to and acted out the story of "Thorn Rosa."

1st/2nd grade- we played the mallet instruments with the song "Apples Red." We enjoyed playing all the same note at the same time, and playing a bordun pattern to go with the song.

3rd/4th grade- we played the note B and A on recorders to the rhythm of the poem "Warm hands, warm." We also improvised our own melodies on mallet instruments to the rhythm of "Warm hands, warm." Several students shared their improvisations as solos.

5th grade- we review a chant we learned called "Let's Play a Game." We learned that the chant is actually a song. We figured out how to play the melody on the mallet instruments. We also took another listen to the song "Win" by Brian McKnight, which we will be starting to learn sign language for next week.
