Week of September 4-7

No Kindergarten classes this week.

1st - This week we drummed out the rhythms of our birthdays.  We also started learning a poem about money.

2nd - We are continuing to practice the difference between the steady beat and the rhythm of the words.  We learned how to spell "rhythm"!

3rd - We are playing an African Ensemble and learning the instrumental parts to a song called "We Are Making Music".

4th - We are now in full rehearsal mode for "Compose Yourself".

5th - This week we played our rhythm pyramid in canon form, polished an African Ensemble on the World Instruments, and began learning a more challenging ensemble.

I love watching each child shine while playing and exploring the World Instruments!
