"Kid" Composers......

Here are a few of our kid composers during our "Composer Game" this week!!!!



What's going on this week.....

This week in music, the K and 1st graders played instruments with rhythms, and got to be a kid conductor!  We had alot of fun!  The 2nd graders played a rhythm identification game called Mystery Music Message.  They had to work with a partner to identify rhythms I played, then figure out a mystery message.  The 3rd grade, of course, played their recorders.  If your 3rd grader isn't practicing at least once a day, they are going to have a hard time advancing in Recorder Karate.  We are now halfway through the program, and most kids have mastered the purple song.  We have 4 more to get to Black, and it is going to take some work! 
When we return from Spring Break, I will be letting the 3rd graders test on recorders, but we will be working diligently on our Music and Movement Program, which will be on May 1st.  I will send more information about the program home later.
Everyone have a blessed and safe Spring Break, get some rest, and be ready to work when you come back!!
