Weekly Review 5/7-5/11

Our school had our annual Teachers vs. 5th Grade Volleyball Tournament and guess who won?? Our fabulous 5th graders! Congratulations! Despite the upset, the art and music team still managed still show their teacher pride. Here is a picture of us to put a little smile on your face. Can you guess who is behind the white sunglasses and the blue wig?

The first graders continued to learn about the Carnival of the Animals, by French composer Camille Saint-Saëns.  They had fun moving like the various animals that were invited to the carnival. Students also followed a listening map to the "Fossils" movement, and learned all about the featured instruments:  the xylophone, the piano, and the clarinet. Here is Mrs. Burnham and Mrs. Panag's students displaying their fossil maps:

Our second grade students have been busy preparing for Memorial Day Concert on Friday, May 25th at 10:00 a.m.  Many students also performed their class compositions with their partners. Here are some of the highlights from this week:




We will be posting the rest of the performances next week. Stay tuned!

Third grade students really progressing with their recorders. This week, they learned high C and high D. Those notes are tricky so keep practicing! Each student should have received a "pink belt" also known as , "Skip to My Lou" which they will be performing at the violin/recorder concert.

Fourth grade students just started their composition projects this week. Each student will be put into groups and will create music to various parts of a book. They can choose any instrument they would like, even using Garage Band on the IPAD! In a few weeks, they will be performing this book for a kindergarten or first grade class.

Our fifth graders will be learning the Ukuleles next week and will also be preparing for the All Town Chorus Concert on Tuesday, May 22nd. A yellow letter should have gone home last week. Incase you have not received it, here is a copy of it:
