Happy Spring!

Have an excellent Spring Break! Below is what students have been learning in music class, and what we will pick up after we return from spring break.

Kinder

Kindergarten will continue listening to Carnival of the Animals. They will be acting out the animals, doing rhythm activities to some songs, and learning movements along to some songs. Over spring break, students can continue listening to Carnival of the Animals songs on Youtube! Ask your child if the song is fast or slow, loud or soft, and what picture comes into their mind while they're listening.

Grade 1 and 2

Grade one and two will continue with our Carnival of the Animals listening unit after the break. They will be learning the difference between fast and slow and loud and soft, and learn movements to some of the songs. Students can re-listen to the Carnival of the Animals lion, hens and roosters, donkey, tortoise, elephant, and kangaroo on YouTube over the spring break if they wish!

Grade three and four

Grade three and four will continue working on ukulele for 1-2 weeks after we return to school after Spring Break. Then, we will move on to reading notes on the treble clef staff. We will use many different instruments for this unit. I will be posting the songs we have been working on, along with some other ukulele material, on Google Classroom. Students can practice singing or playing along over spring break if they like!
