Kindergarten: Students are working in groups to create 4 beat rhythm patterns using quarter notes and rests. We are also discussing long and short sounds created by our classroom percussion instruments.
1st Grade: Our theme for the week is Squirrels! Students have learned "Chase the Squirrel" and "Hop Old Squirrel" with instruments and movements. Also, students are beginning to read "Ta" and "Ti-Ti" notation.
2nd Grade: Students are identifying and labeling the half rest in rhythm exercises. Students are also extending the instrumental part for "All 'Round the Brickyard", which was learned last week. Students are also singing notated patterns on sol-la-mi.
3rd Grade: Students are singing and playing Orff instruments for the song "Great Big House", which introduced the high "do" on the solfege scale. Also, students are learning the traditional song "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" in honor of Veteran's Day.
4th Grade: Students have moved past "Hot Cross Buns" onto a song named "Waltz" that also reinforces the fingerings for G, A, and B (do-re-mi)
5th Grade: Students are learning a piece named "Boomfallera" and "Waltz". Next week we will add two new notes to our recorder playing.
*Next week we will begin work on our music for the December 15 program at Dutchman Creek Auditorium.
