Parents: Week of May 12 - 16, 2014

Next choir concert:

Sunday, May 18, 4:00 High School Auditorium
Dress is a white shirt and dark, nice pants/skirt.

5th grade kids played the Apache Chant game and added the drum part to the singing when they were out of the game. The high school teacher across the hall came over to ask me what the cool Indian song with the drums I've been doing is. We sound good.

4th graders played the Black Snake game. Black Snake teaches us about syncopation.

There was a major upset in the Fifty Nifty game competition between the third grade classes.  Mrs. Ross' class put up a score of 95% this week to take over the lead.  Each class has only one more opportunity to improve their score this year.

2nd graders finished the Beethoven movie.  On Thursday, Mrs. Lawrence's class watched a video of themselves playing the song Lucy Locket and did a critique of their performance. 

1st grade students finished Each of Us is a Flower and began working on train songs. Ask your child what two instruments we have that make the sounds of a train (cabasa and train whistle).

The kinder kids in Mrs. Sustarsic's class reviewed several instruments we learned about this year by adding them to the picnic song.  We also started a new song called Going to the Zoo.  Mrs. Hensley's class had a popcorn party.

Remember, your child can write to Kit the Doll at:
