Week of March 4-8

Kindergarten - We are continuing to listen and move to "The Carnival of the Animals".

1st Grade - This week we practiced a long rhythm pattern and then heard it played 18 times in Grieg's "In the Hall of the Mountain King".

2nd Grade - We started a unit on the instruments of the orchestra.  The students will learn the names of the instruments, how to sort them into the 4 families of instruments and the different techniques for playing them.

3rd Grade - We had a wonderful experience in the computer lab using GarageBand to enhance the Biome reports they recorded.

4th Grade - To break up the stress of ISAT tests we did some Irish dancing and learned a little about St. Patrick.

5th Grade - We learned the choreography for another song this week.  I love the energy, creativity and sense of humor these students have!
