Thank you to grade 3, 4 students in rooms 12, 13, 15 and to grade 5, 6 students in rooms 18 and 19 for contributing to this blog.

All students from grades one to six learned how to say and sing, "Hello," in different languages.  One student commented, "I like that idea because after we have learned "Hello," in different languages, maybe we can start learning more new words to the song in those same languages.

Grades 3, 4 students learned new games.  "It was fun."

They practiced the beat in different songs and are beginning to understand how to find it in songs better.

Grades 5, 6
From a video they watched of a pianist playing variations of "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star,"  one student commented, "You can change a song by adding extra short notes."

The grade five and six students were asked to fill out an interest survey.  One of the questions that a grade six student liked to answer was, "Who is your favorite recording artist?  Name two or three songs or raps by the artist."  She wanted to do the beat to some of them.

Thank you to the grade 3, 4, 5, 6 students in rooms 7, 8, 14, 18 and 20 for contributing ideas for what they learned this week in music.


Some of the activities that we learned and/or reviewed are:a get acquainted song where they learned each others' names.

• singing techniques
• rules of respect 
• rules of safety in moving the music cart  We are particularly concerned about the safety of each student as they are moving the cart.
• singing games

As one student commented, "It is good to see you again."  It was good to connect with each other.
