Music Week 6

3rd-4th grade sang Don Gato, a folk song from Mexico. We have been celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month this year at Williams.

3rd-We continued to review Hot Cross Buns. B, A, G, seem really difficult this year so more time is needed. We should start moving along soon.

4th-We reviewed My Dog Spike and Sorry Spike. Again, we had a little trouble using fingers 2, 3, and 4.

5th-Still working on E, F, G. Trying to get more comfortable before we move on.
