Short Week of January 23-25

Kindergarten - It was fun to sing about snow and finally have real snow on the ground!

1st Grade - Ta, sh and ti-ti notes are all being read, spoken and played on xylophones.  Ask your child about this!

2nd Grade - Squirm is coming along nicely!  Speaking parts will be assigned next week and a letter will go home soon about costumes.

3rd Grade - Your child should have the names of all 50 states memorized now!  We are also practicing how to draw notes and rests.

4th Grade - I gave these students two new challenges this week.  The first one was for them to read their glockenspiel or xylophone parts off of a staff without labeling the notes.  The next challenge was for them to try to play two parts at once.  Many of them did this very well!

5th Grade - We are having a lot of fun preparing our songs for the 5th grade show!
