Music Week 11

This was our first full week in two weeks. 4th and 5th grade are back to piano skills while 2nd and 3rd grade are being introduced to recorder skills. I am trying to encourage the students to go get their own recorder because we have a limited number here at the school. Everyone is still preparing their material for the winter concert set for December 13, 2007 at 7:00pm in the cafeteria. Unfortunately, the classes on Friday have missed out on station day but I can assure you that we will be having one soon. I am also in the process of building a website for band and chorus to keep parents and students updated.

Music Week 10

Last week we had Station Day. 4th and 5th grade had four separate stations in which they had to work on different concepts. Station 1 was a quiz station that had pictures of notes, Station 2 was a rhythm stick station where they had to play rhythms from the overhead, Station 3 was the piano, Station 4 was the playstation with Dance, Dance Revolution. K-3 learned how to play DDR and when we redo station day they should be able to do four seperate stations.
