Week of November 16 - 20

Kindergarten - We are continuing to sing our Raffi songs, but this week we also learned a song about thankfulness.  The children helped to complete the song with their own lists of things they are thankful for.  This list included - family, food, school, books, pets, music, clothes, America and friends.  What a great list!

2nd Grade - We had some fun with turkey songs, a mashed potato song and a traveling song.  We learned 5 tempo (speed) words and applied them to our songs.

3rd Grade - We watched a video of the Ohio State Marching Band.  I think the students have a new appreciation for the talent that is required in order to be in a marching band like this!  We are also playing Staff Wars to practice naming the notes on a staff.

4th Grade - The Star Spangled Banner tests were graded and reviewed.  The students did a great job!  We are also learning some snowy songs to sing for December!

5th Grade - We have been listening to different combinations of voices in a variety of songs.  The students are good at identifying solo voices and ensembles.

Happy Thanksgiving!
