The Music room has been rocking in rhythm! All of the kids in grades Kindergarten-4th grade have been learning new rhythms. The entire school district is changing the music counting system, and I am teaching the children to phase in the new counting names. So they kids may come home saying "Du, Du-De" instead of "Ta, Ti-Ti" like in the past.
The fifth graders have been coming up with dances to show the Rondo form they have been learning about. In mixed groups, they have created amazing performances that they are sharing this week and the next.
Soon on the horizon? The 2nd grade concert. They will be showcasing the things they have learned over the past year and a half on their concert November 15th. You will see the children singing, dancing, and playing instruments. Each child will have a special part in the performance, weather it be a speaking part, an instrument part, a special prop to share, or a dance part. I believe that each child has a musical gift, and the performances help them show off those talents.
It was fun to watch our fabulous Fry students perform in the past week at the Fry Idol night. The auditions were fabulous, and I enjoyed seeing their talents shine.
