This week:
Kindergarten played a piano signals game, practicing their steady beat and movement. Students responded to the teacher's march, crawl, and hop signals with the appropriate movement at the appropriate time. Students learned classroom expectations, consequences, our major procedures, and received their seats.
First grade sang themselves back into the school year with "Welcome Back to School." Students used drums and tambourines to accompany the song and practice their steady beat. Students reviewed the classroom expectations, consequences, our major procedures, and received their assigned seats.
Second grade played their way into the school year using Orff instruments to accompany a chant. The students did a wonderful job quickly getting back into the routine of making music! Students also reviewed the classroom expectations, consequences, our major procedures, and received their assigned seats.
Third grade had fun learning rhythmic greetings in other languages and moving them around the classroom. Students also reviewed the classroom expectations, consequences, our major procedures, and received their assigned seats.
Fourth and Fifth grade learned rhythmic partner chants using body percussion which they enjoyed. Students also reviewed the classroom expectations, consequences, our major procedures, and received their assigned seats.
