PK- We will continue working on our classroom songs, and students will have the chance to try and play the trumpet!
K/1- We had a great time coloring brass instruments and listening to brass music last week! We will work on the hymn that the students are singing for chapel next week. We will also do dictation review on our white boards, reviewing notes, note lengths, the treble clef, and rhythms.
2/3- Our recorders came in last week! We covered the basics of the recorder (hand position, playing technique, care) and we learned the first 3 notes (B,A,G). The first song we are learning is "Hot Cross Buns." Once students master this song and play it for me individually, then they will receive their white belt! We will practice the song together in class, and then students will get a chance to individually practice and test.
4/5- NO CLASS
6- NO CLASS
7- We will be working with the iPads again this week. We have downloaded a new piano app called, "Virtuoso." We will work through piano exercises in the book as a class with the iPads, and students will receive a chance to use the real piano to play the songs.
8- We will begin our guitar unit this week. We were supposed to begin it last week, but had too many students missing due to the weather. Each student will be provided with a guitar and we will discuss the basics and start to work through our Guitar book.
Each class will also learn the song, "It's cool in a Lutheran school," in preparation for National Lutheran School's Week!
