Weekly Review 5/6 - 5/10

This week in music, the first graders finished their Carnival of the Animals unit. They moved like animals, listened to different tunes inspired by those animals, AND saw them in a Carnival of the Animals movie set at a zoo! They also got to see each of the songs performed by an orchestra. The musicians did such an amazing job! For their second music class, they learned a song called "Pass the Shoe"- and it has a fun game too!  Ask your child what happened to the tempo of that song as they sang.

The second grade students auditioned for solos for their upcoming Memorial Day concert! Everyone who tried out did such an amazing job, and it was very difficult to choose only a few students. They continued to rehearse for the performance, played the chimes to accompany "Remember You," and even played a few rounds of Hop Old Chipmunk. It was a great week!

The third graders enjoyed their centers once again this week. We will have new centers with new games and worksheets the next time they come to music! They also worked more on the notes high D and high C. Those can be very tricky, especially during the red and brown belt songs. The fingerings are a bit awkward! Next week, they will be focusing more on one of their concert songs, March of the Droids.

The fourth and fifth graders did an AMAZING job at their spring concert this Wednesday. Check out some of the photos from their morning performance!
