Week of January 11th
Grade 8
Music and Science
Grade 8 combined music and science this week in an acoustics experiment.
While blowing into straws of different lengths,
they were tasked with a hypothesis to prove while learning about amplitude,
sound waves, frequency, decibels and timbre.
Grade 6
Percussion Instruments
Grade 6 has been studying instruments in the percussion family.
Here they learn to play various instruments used in salsa music.
Collectively, they coordinate their rhythms in an ostinato pattern.
Musical Chairs
Grade 1 is seen here with a new favorite activity: Musical Chairs "with a twist".
They use songs to learn about animals, colors, and math.
Cards are placed on each chair with a math problem.
If they can solve the math equation when they land on their chair,
they avoid being eliminated from the round.
