2nd Grade
I want to start this page by saying how proud I am with the 2nd-grade class!
This week the second-grade class learned a fun Russian Folk dance called "SASHA!"
We used this song to learn about the musical concepts of:- rests
- repeats
- quarter notes
- eighth notes
But, how to have fun with a Russian Folk Dance while staying socially distanced?
In Music and Movement, we found a way to do it ! -

PK
The pre-school class had a chance to meet a new friend in class. Copy Cat came to class to meet the PK students. They had so much fun singing with her that we thought we would share the fun with you!
Copy Cat helped to teach the concepts of:- pitch matching
- rhythm matching
- turn-taking
Perhaps she will visit the classroom again soon! -

Kindergarten
After singing our "Music Hello Song", each class we pick up our candles and blow them out.
The students enjoy visualizing their candles and the flame as they blow them out.
We have also played with dancing in bubbles.
Our candles and bubbles help to teach the concepts of:- breath support
- focus
- starting an activity as a group
- body control
- listening to the music for cues

PK
The preschoolers were introduced to two new friends! The class is becoming quite full of
all of the people moving, singing, and learning as well as more friends popping into the class. We do not mind at all. We enjoy each one who comes in.
This time, we were visited by a dinosaur and a butterfly!
Our dinosaur and butterfly helped teach the concepts of:- dynamics
- speaking voice, singing voice, shouting voice
- pitch matching
- turn-taking
