Weeks of January 11 - 22

Kindergarten - We have been working on melodies that get higher and lower.  They are learning how to play high notes and low notes on a glockenspiel.

2nd Grade - The 2nd grade show "Pirates!" is underway!  Auditions were held last week and the cast list has been posted.  Children with speaking parts now have a rehearsal calendar and a script with their parts highlighted.

3rd Grade - The students are now learning about ledger lines and how they function in music.  We have started rehearsing a song in which they sing all 50 states in alphabetical order.  They are also applying their note reading skills in this song.

4th Grade - We are continuing our unit on instruments of the orchestra.  We have played several classroom and online games and will begin taking the quizzes today.

5th Grade - We are continuing to rehearse for the 5th grade show.  Adding harmony parts is a new challenge that students are meeting with much success!
