Weekly Review 6/9 -6/13

Good morning! We had a fantastic week in music!  We can't believe that there is only one more full week of school.  

Reminder:  ALL students will be given the opportunity to participate in our Musical Showcase next week, during their music classes (except Monday, due to Field Day).  Students may choose to sing, dance, or play an instrument.  This is their chance to share any musical skills they have!  The students always enjoy watching their peers, so we hope all students choose to participate!

The first grade students completed taping their ABA compositions.  You can check them out here.  They also played Musical Jeopardy!

The second grade students played Musical Jeopardy, then reviewed some fun games from first and second grade.  They played favorites such as, "We are Looking for Eggs" and "Lucy Locket." Some students even learned a new song (and game!) called, "Rico's Pizza Restaurant."  It was so much fun!

We want to give a HUGE congratulations to third grade students- they did an amazing job at their Flag Day concert on Tuesday. If you would like to see videos of their violin, recorder, and chorus performance, you can visit our post here.  They also reviewed some concepts learned this year with a fun round of Musical Jeopardy!

The fourth graders played a challenging game of Musical Jeopardy, and also enjoyed some silly music-themed basketball and soccer games!  If you would like to play them at home, you can visit the Music Tech Teacher website.

The fifth grade students enjoyed rounds of Musical Jeopardy, basketball, and soccer.  They also continued working on memorizing their moving up song!  This year, we let the students write their own lyrics to accompany a favorite song: "Happy," by Pharrell Williams!  Check it out:


[Verse 1:]
It might seem crazy what we’re ‘bout to say
We’re movin’ up, right after summer break
Class of 2014 is moving up today
With our friends, can’t stay we’re going to 6th grade

[Chorus:]
Because we’re movin’ up
Move along if you feel like going to middle school
Because we’re movin’ up
Dance along if you feel like new friends are what to do
Because we’re movin’ up
Sing along if you feel like Memorial school is cool
Because we’re movin’ up
Elementary school’s in the past, middle school is new

[Verse 2:]
We’ll make new friends, talking this and that, yeah,
We’re going to middle school please don’t hold us back, yeah,
Well, we should probably tell you we’ll be just fine, yeah,
We’re gonna miss you, wish we had more time
Here’s why

[Chorus]

Move us up
Can't nothin bring us down
Our grades are too high
Cause we have
Best teachers ever
Let’s go to middle school
Move us up
Can’t nothin stop us now
We’ll have middle school
Move us up
From elementary school
We said

[Chorus 2x]

Move us up
Can't nothin bring us down
Our grades are too high
Cause we have
Best teachers ever

[Chorus 2x]
Because we’ll miss you
Sing along if you feel like you’re gonna miss the crew
Because we’ll miss you
Sing along if you feel like you’ll miss the playground too
Because we’ll miss you
Sing along if you feel like our years at Memorial flew
Because we’ll miss you
Sing along if you feel like Memorial’s special to you



We hope you have a lovely weekend!
