Music Week 8

K-2 talked learned a Halloween song. It was called "There was an Old Woman all Skin and Bones." We learned some movement to along with the words of the song. We had a lot of fun surprising teachers at the end of music class. I hope to teach this song to some of the older students next week.


My classes that come to me at 8:00 and the 5th graders had the opportunity to go to the computer lab and work on Brain Pop. We studied the lesson on the basics of reading music and took the quiz. At the end of quiz, students had to email their results to me. It was very similar to last week for 3rd and 4th grade. 4th grade this week had learned how to use the beat strips and rhythm markers. I played 9 examples of rhythms and the students had to figure out how to place them on their strip. Many classes found it very challenging. Next week, we will be back in the music room learning our respective instruments. We will be getting ready for our Winter Concert on December 3.
