1st Grade - is learning more about So-mi melodies. We are singing, reading and soon will be playing them on xylophones and metallophones. Also they just learned about the quarter rest.
2nd Grade - continuing to read, play, and sing pentatonic songs and melodies. Today we will be improvising our own melodies and writing them down using the words to our song "Mr. Rabbit"
3rd Grade - is adding low la and low sol to their penatonic scale. Now we are able to sing songs in minor and have added new ideas to our bag of ostinato tricks. We also leanred a dance from Isreal called Te Ve Orez (tea and rice). It is a social dance that involves quick steps and partner switching.
4th Grade - is doing great work with the recorders! They can read GAC'D' off the staff with no problem and we have just added B this week! We also leanred a dance from Isreal called Te Ve Orez (tea and rice). It is a social dance that involves quick steps and partner switching.
5th Grade - began recorder testing this week. I use the Karate method of testing where students can earn belts I hope to have more information on this site soon. 5th grade is also learning the Isreli Dance and having lots of fun.
