Performance Announcement: We will have a Christmas Concert on December 16th at 2:00pm in the church sanctuary at Branch Line School. Grades K-6 will be performing, 7th-8th grade will be working on a STEM project.
In Kindergarten, students are working on identifying opposites of fast and slow (Adagio and Allegro). They are working on their Christmas concert music Jingly.
Older grades:
In 3rd and 4th grade, students earned a movie for their awesome behavior! They got to watch Fantasia 2000 to learn about articulation.
In 5th-6th grade, we are working on our African unit and learning a piece called Siyahamba for the Christmas concert.
In 7th-8th grade, we are working on time periods/genres of music. Students learned about Cole Porter and Billie Holiday and the impact the Dust Bowl and the Great Depression had on music.
Band will be inside Jenn's room, she is the 5th and 6th grade teacher.
