Weekly Review 12/19-12/23

We can't believe that our last school week of 2016 has come to an end. Here is what we did in music:

Congratulations to our first grade students who performed so well at our first Winter Showcase!

Second grade students completed their Nutcracker unit with a listening map and played rhythm sticks to accompany the Trepak. We listened to the Chinese Dance, described the instruments that were played in the music and followed a listening map. Here is a video of some of our second grade students performing the rhythm stick routine to the Trepak:



The third grade students performed the, "Jingle Bells Mixer" dance. It is a fun circle dance performed with partners.  They did an amazing job!  For their second music class, they had a great time with Music Mad Libs. Here is are some of the creative Mad Libs that our children came up with:

Mrs. Keating's class:

To the Tune of: Rudoph the Red Nose Reindeer

Emily the orange-nosed monkey

Had a very hairy eye

And if you ever saw it

You would even say it glows

All of the other unicorns

Used to laugh and call him pizza

They never let poor Ryan

Join in any doggy games

Then one foggy Armenian Christmas Eve

Santa came to say

Rudolph with your face so sassy

Won't you guide my Ryan tonight?

Then all the beaver loved him

And they shouted out with sad

Kyle the black-hand sugar glider

You'll go down in history!

Mrs. Cyr and Mrs. Kipp's class

To the Tune of: Santa Claus is Coming to Town

You better not play video games

You better not play ipads

Better not dance

I'm telling you why

Sloane  is coming to Woburn

She's making a Yvenaya

And checking it twenty one times

Gonna find out who's sparkly and blue

Nora  is coming to San Antonio

She sees you when you're dabbing

She knows when you're singing

She knows if you've been thinking or pretty

So be good for goodness sake!

Oh! You better go sking

You better not do handstands

Better not do cartwheels

I'm telling you why

Andrew  is coming to Quebec City

Oliva  is coming to New York

Fifth grade and fourth grade performed an accompaniment using drums and rhythm sticks to "The Trepak" from the Nutcracker ballet. Here is Mrs. Burn's class and Mrs. Harlow's class:

Happy Holidays and Have a Happy New Year! Cheers to 2017!
