First Grade is working diligently to prepare for our Christmas Show: December Round the World.
They are learning and singing lyrics in 5 different languages. They add choreography to spice up each musical number. Here is a glimpse of some of their hard work.
Kindergarten began learning about Boomwhackers this week. Boomwhackers are large plastic tubes, tuned to specific pitches and are patterned in various colors. This is how they begin to learn to read actual music. It also correlates to the hand signals they will study this using the Kodaly method.
Here they are seen learning to play Jingle Bells on Boomwhackers.
