Music: Week of August 22nd-25th
I hope that everyone had a wonderful summer. Welcome back to the first week of music.
In Kindergarten, we are working on keeping a steady beat and using our singing voices. Students are working on counting to music while keeping a steady beat.
Your child can sing along to "Count and Move" here:

In 1st-2nd grade, we are working rhythms Ta and TiTi as well as using our singing voices without a teacher's guidance in small patterns. Students introduced themselves and shared about their pet (even their pet rocks) using the song "I Have a Pet."

Older grades:
In 3rd and 4th grade, we are working on reviewing lines and spaces as well as creating a school fight song using the tune of You're a Grand Old Flag. They are working on composing and evaluating the lyrics of music.
In 5th-6th grade, we are working on reviewing treble clef note names and music class rules. We will be focusing on music cultures. Our first culture will be African. We are still waiting on students to turn in technology forms to their homeroom teacher.
I have a kalimba that students will be introduced to. If anyone has a kalimba or guiro, this class could use it.
In 7th-8th grade, we are working on time periods/genres of music. We are starting with the 1900s and working our way up to 2020s. We listened to John Philip Sousa and Scott Joplin and were introduced to marches and ragtime. We are still waiting on students to turn in technology forms to their homeroom teacher.
1900s-1910:
