Well, last year, I COMPLETELY failed to keep this blog active. So, once again, I will try to develop a better habit of posting here weekly. Let's get started!
I have started the year with 1st and 4th graders. For our 1st graders, we will pretty much continued with our Education Through Music games bolstered by a variety of picture books this semester. We want to reestablish expectations in Music class along with the habit of singing and being musical. We will start to focus in a little more specifically on beat/rhythm this block.
4th graders also jumped right back in with ETM song games but are also anticipating getting started with recorders NEXT WEEK! Forms went home and many students have already brought them back so that we are ready to start. If you have not sent in your child's recorder form, please do so ASAP.
Since August is already drawing to a close, we are also covering our first Musician of the Month this week. It's Gloria Estefan! I hope the kids enjoy learning about her as much as I am enjoying reliving the music of my youth. :-)
That's all for now. Thanks for checking in on your child's music class!
