Happy New Year!!!

Kindergarten will be learning a song about frogs and creating motions to 'hop' on the beat to the music.

First grade is singing Shortnin' Bread and performing body percussion on beats 2 and 4. We will then add instruments.

Second Grade is learning a song called Winter Fun. They will work in small groups to create and perform their own choreography.

Third grade will be bringing home recorder papers. Please read carefully and return to Mrs. Schwartz.
We will review the music staff and go over recorder basics.

Fourth grade will sing and play ostinato patterns on the bells to a song called Snowy Winter Days. Students will be able to sing and play independently. They will also be given time to complete a survey for Mrs. Schwartz to create future general music lesson plans based on their current interests.

Fifth and Sixth grade will have a brief review followed by a staff note quiz. They will also be given time to complete a survey for Mrs. Schwartz to create future general music lesson plans based on their current interests.
