January Flashbacks

What did students learn in the month of January?  A lot!!

Kindergarten-
Focus on beat and pitch
Lots of singing and lots of movement


Kindergarten students learned about sound - beats
can have sound or no sound, but it is still a beat!


First -
Writing, reading, singing and speaking quarter notes, eighth note pairs and quarter rests

Mrs. Park's class had their Golden Music Note Day and chose to have a musical lunch with me in the music room!



Watching a special music clip



Second -
What are measures?
Lots of music theory - grouping notes, ties, creating half notes by tying quarter notes together, repeat signs and reviewing familiar notes

Third Grade -
Follow The Drinking Gourd - read the book, learned the song and talked a lot about history!
Music theory
Focus on our notes
Beginner part singing

Third Grade students add music note values during a center activity.

Fourth Grade -
Xylophones
Music theory

A student keeps the steady beat while students take turns
performing improvisational solos on their xylophones.



Fifth Grade -
Xylophones, music theory, beginning 6/8 time
