We have a great week-in-review of mostly instruments and lots of awesome pictures!
In library, we are finishing up our Teamwork unit. The Pre-K students are swimming as one big fish and the Grade 3/4s are working to reshelve books together. The Pre-K and Kindergarten students also read Farmer Duck by Martin Waddell to explore how working as a team is faster, easier, more efficient and more fun than working alone.
In music, the students are busy, filling their time with songs, dances, and instruments. Kindergarten students tried playing their "Hello, There" song on the small bells. Pre-K has been learning the actions to a new song, "Do Your Ears Hang Low?". The Grade 1/2 class started a new song as well, called "Tingalayo," adding percussion rhythms that they heard in the recording. The Grade 3/4 class is preparing for a Monday assembly performance and had a special guest this way. Mr. Mark came to show us his electric guitar, accompany on a song, and answer questions about his musical background. The students were overjoyed to see a real musician live!
In choir, students are practicing correct posture and breathing, in addition to working on a new, beautiful song, "Dona Nobis Pacem."
