Week of May 29 - June 1

All Ivy Hill students sang to Miss. Csensich at our farewell assembly this week!  Great job, everyone!!!

Kindergarten - No class this week.

1st Grade - We finished our year with a parachute!  We danced with it while listening to the William Tell Overture.

2nd Grade - We acted out the song "Don Gato".  That was very entertaining!  We also enjoyed a folk story that used a few words in Spanish.  We had one last singing assessment and played a hot and cold game with a song.

3rd Grade - We finished our Beethoven movie and reflected on the original list of questions they generated when we started this unit.  I also shared some personal photos from Bonn, Beethoven's birth town, and Vienna, where he lived his adult life.

4th Grade - We finished our time together by echo playing through Beethoven's Ode to Joy on the recorders.

5th Grade - What can I say?  These children have brought me great joy and pride over the past six years.  Now it's time to celebrate their musical accomplishments!
