3rd grade rehearsed for their concert on Thursday. We did a presentation for Hispanic Heritage month. It included songs, dances, and poetry from the Hispanic community. All in all it was a great success. We hope to make it slightly bigger next year with more costumes, decorations, and food.
4th grade continued working on piano skills. This week we worked on Merrily We're off to School. It is played to the tune of Mary had a Little Lamb. We were still using the black keys and using finger 2,3,and 4. Ask your 4th grader if they can explain what that means.
5th grade learned how to play an E chord last week using a pick:

2.Demonstrate where to place fingers
