Hello,
It has been an interesting few weeks. The week before spring break we reviewed some concepts but then did Zumba. One to keep the kids active and just have a little down time before we start anything new.
The week after spring break 3rd-5th reviewed musical concepts using music Jeopardy. That activity was a culmination of all the things we learned this year. We will be doing an end of year exam and that was a way to prep them for it. Basically, I set the game up so that if students paid attention throughout the year they would be able to pass the quiz on music terms and concepts.If the class got the question right they accumulated the points. If they got the question wrong I accumulated the lost points. Some classes did better than others but just to be sure that all students pass, I will make study guides available on the website soon. You can also click on one of the music theory links on this page to explore more about music. K-1 kept up with their normal routine and learned songs about Spring. 2nd grade played the Orff xylophones and learned about ostinato. Ask them what it means if you have a second grader.
This past week was FCAT. We had a shortened resource schedule. Unfortunately, we were only able to watch Brain Pop movies and do the review questions in the allotted time. The 3rd-5th watched the Brain Pop concerning reading music. The K-1 watched the movie about how to sing.
This week we are back to normal and I will try to post our activities later this week. Also, if you are a 5th grade parent please take a look at the previous post. I will send a note home but just in case it doesn't make it, you can read it on this page for yourself.
