Music
Hello parents! So far this year we’ve been having a great time in music class. I’ve been doing my best to keep the students active and engaged and it’s been a lot of fun! Here’s what we have in store for October:
5th Grade will be starting a unit called “Rhythm Judo”, where they will be playing new and old rhythms on different instruments such as buckets and hand drums, trying to master different belts like in karate.
4th Grade will be playing recorders, and we will learn more notes and start playing songs.
3rd Grade will be learning music from different places around the world and how to read different parts of a score.
2nd and 1st Grade will be learning about instruments from around the world and how to play them with proper technique.
Kindergarten will also be playing instruments, singing songs, and perfecting the art of the echo!
Looking forward to another great month!
Technology
For the month of September, students in technology learned and reviewed the rules and regulations of operating the computers. My students in Kindergarten are learning how to use the mouse to click and drag items on the website http://www.starfall.com/ . 1st and 2nd are reviewing those same skills and working on the website http://www.abcya.com/. My students in 3rd – 5th are working on the following websites: https://www.brainpop.com/ https://www.reflexmath.com/ and https://www.typingclub.com/.
