Music Week 1

This week we went over rules and class expectations. I expect students to follow the school rules, follow my class rules, and act like the good students that I know they can be. Also, I will be passing out forms for interests in the school chorus as well as a new 4th and 5th grade band in two weeks. The K-2 classes played musical chairs and did a variety of movement exercises while the 3-5 worked with rhythm sticks. This year we will work to have a total music program. We will do some singing, some instrumental work, and hopefully work with new music software on the computers in addition to learning the fundamentals of music. Next week, we will begin our Unit on Beat.
