December Updates

December is a very busy month here at Centerville! We are getting ready for our winter break and the holiday season. In music class, that means we are learning plenty of Christmas music! We have learned both traditional songs like "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" and brand new songs like "The Santa Claus Rock." We have also learned about Hanukkah. Hanukkah is very different from Christmas and has its own holiday songs. This year, we learned the song "Hanukkah Hanukkah" to recognize the holiday. We can't wait to sing these and other songs at our annual holiday singalong!  In December, I like to teach students about the most famous ballet in the world--The Nutcracker.

March Wrapup

CONGRATULATIONS to all kindergarten, second grade, and third grade students on excellent performances last week! I am so proud of all of you! Performing takes an incredible amount of bravery, and I'm happy that we were all able to perform together. 😀 Here's what's coming up in April- Kindergarten will start to learn how to read rhythms. We will also be learning new music vocabulary, playing new games, and using instruments! First Grade will be working on music for their Hat Parade! Hat Parade will be in June. It's a big show and takes a LOT of work! Looking forward to teaching the music to this crew of first graders. Second Grade will be learning how to read notes on a treble staff and learning new folk songs and dances. Third Grade will be reviewing notes on a treble staff and learning all about instruments! We still have a lot of work to do, but I look forward to all the fun we will have in the music room! Happy spring!

January Updates

Wow! What a busy month it has been at Centerville! Students have been doing a lot of singing, dancing, and playing in music class! We are already starting to get prepared for our March concert performances and our Hat Parade in June. Dates for the March concerts are coming very soon! In Kindergarten, we have spent a lot of time singing this month. We learned the song "Shoo Fly" and learned a dance to go with it, too. We played the special music version of Freeze Dance, where we all freeze in a special pose. And, we are learning about sailor and pirate songs. It has been a lot of fun!   In First Grade, we have already learned a couple of our Hat Parade songs! In addition, we have been working with a lot of instruments. First, we added instruments to Jan Brett's book The Hat.   This week, we are learning how to improvise and play the song "Mallets in the Air" on xylophone. We have so much more singing to do to get ready for our Hat Parade.  Second graders ha...
