Here is an example of "Follow the Drinking Gourd" for you to practice with. Please be advised that we are only singing the first two verses, so you can stop the video around one minute and ten seconds. See the entry below for "Fifty Nifty."

Please use this video as a guide for practice to learn the rest of your states! You may have to cut and paste the link into a new browser. Good afternoon! First graders will be presenting a literature and music PTA performance on February 2 and 3.
Ms. Maples, Lieblich, VanKrieken, and Lee's classes will perform the night of the 2nd and the remainder of the classes (Ms. Williams', Bowling, Carroll, and Reavis' students) will perform the night of the 3rd. Students will report to their classrooms at 6:30 for the 7PM show. All students who do not have a speaking part should wear jeans, a white shirt, and comfortable shoes. Those students with speaking parts will be notified in early January. Thanks for your support of the music department at Roswell North! K: How did we show high and low notes to help us sing?
1st: What do you have to do to your voice to use it as a singing voice? Why? 2nd: What have you learned about song structure in "Spaced Out"? 3rd: What kind of music is the most important? How do you make important music last? 4th: When it comes to singing, what makes a good school performance? 5th: How do you make your movements go with the music? What were some of the movements you showed and why? There are several youtube videos I found which may assist your student in learning their lyrics for the second grade musical. I have visited all of these links and feel comfortable that they are appropriate. However, parents should monitor their child's internet usage to ensure that no inappropriate material is downloaded or seen. As often as the web changes, there is always a possibility that something inappropriate will pop up. Please use your parental discretion.

Good afternoon!
In an effort to become a more connected classroom, we plan on working with edmodo.com this year. The occasional assignment, as well as technology resources and enhancements will be posted to edmodo. Please consider creating an account and assisting your child in helping music to become more accessible. Third and Fourth Graders have a link up to a fraction music site we accessed last week! Codes will be available in this week's RNE newsletter! |
