Tues Classes

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Here is what we did yesteray.....

K Music- Reviewed the staff...made one on the ground...found third space "C" and introduced 2nd space "A". Practiced jumping on different lines and spaces. Played a new song on the glockenspiel called "Dr. Foster" they were so cute at demonstrating how great their "C" note sounded. We reviewed brass instruments and listened to examples of each and identified them. We only have one more class until this semester of Kindermusik is over. After that, I will just review with them until the break.

2nd grade ensemble- great job on recital songs. It is going to be fun. They all need to practice to the end of the page we are on. They need to take their time and really pay attention to the rhythm---that is what is holding us back now. It just got harder, but I think once we get over this hump, it will go faster.

World Music- I introduced our Christmas program. They all have a talking part, so please help them practice saying it in a loud voice. We also practice our 2 songs as well as the songs we are going to sing with the adults and the boomwhackers. Next week, I will practice on Tues. and Wed. with them so we are ready. Holden & David were so cute and serious when they were saying their part. Of course, Isaac & Ella need to work on not being silly! The parts are in the green folders.

K History- Visited the Andes mountains. We made the llama art and talked about life there. They were all fascinated that they don't have trees up that high and that the people actually sleep with the small animals like goats and chickens at night.

Good day. They seemed to handle the longer day well. They did gets lots of little breaks which was nice.
