Resource:
Music: Students will continue with seasonal songs, musical games, instrumentation and acting for a book-reading! Children love ballads, folk tunes, and participating in musical games to assess their knowledge and skills. During these last weeks of school, we will be engaged in all of those activities. Thankfully, in music, we can “Find The Fun” and still be learning the Music Essential Standards. As always, please check out the Music Google Classroom for book-readings, games, songs and YouTube links for resources. The Music Classroom website has videos and pictures of our music classroom activities and programs
