January 2011

Kindergarten will continue with "learning songs" and performing on instruments.

First grade is chanting and learning about marching band instruments.

Second grade is dancing and learning about string instruments.

Third Grade is receiving information about the recorder and starting to learn how the read the notes. The recorders will be passed out in the end of January. The cost is $6.00 for a recorder and book.

Fourth grade is discovering meter in 2 and meter in 3. We are also creating motions to perform with each meter.

Fifth grade is recognizing notes that move by steps, leaps, or repeats. They will identify these notes visually and aurally. They will have a quiz and test.

Sixth grade is bringing home information about an upcoming assignment. They will choose an approved artist/group and research 8 items I have listed. They will share their findings with the class and turn in a one page report. The due dates will be given in class. They will also be learning how to construct a melody.
