Parents: Summary of March 3 - 7, 2014

Another almost complete week of school.  I am so hopeful that the wintry weather is behind us now. Next week begins the last grading period of the year and that will bring its own set of scheduling challenges.  Spring is a busy time!

This week the fifth grade classes talked about what it is like to be a saxophone player.  

Fourth graders began playing the cup game to the song Do Wah Diddy.

Third grade kids should be able to sing from Alabama to Indiana in the states song.

Second graders looked at the form of several songs in our books.

First grade kids read a book called Tuesday and listened to several songs that didn't have any words and tried to guess what animal the composer was trying to make us think of.

Kindergarteners moved to the Papa Bear/Mama Bear/Baby Bear song and played the accompanying xylophone parts.  We also created a thunderstorm in my room using a bass drum, a rainstick, and the light switch.  

Mrs. Wewe's and Mrs. Reinhardt's classes enjoyed popcorn parties this week. 

The Beethoven video of the week was the end of Symphony #6 and Chain O'Lakes State Park.


Remember, your child can write to Kit the Doll at ucleskit@gmail.com and a demo of the Music Ace program we use in the computer castle is available at:  www.harmonicvision.com.
