Happy New Year!

We hit the ground running in the New Year! We have had lots of fun learning!

PrImary: We had a lot of fun with our dice activity. There were two dice, one an activity and the other a song. Each student took turns rolling the dice and we performed the song and activity as a group. These activities help them with motor skills and moving as one.

PreK: We began our work on rhythm. Each student learned about one sound on a beat or two. We dug a little deeper with Chicka Chicka Boom Boom. We worked together to keep the steady beat and to figure out if each word was one sound or two.

Kindergarten: We learned about quarter notes, quarter rests, and eighth notes. We were remembering what we learned in PreK (above) and saw how it related to these rhythms. While we were learning, the students created the different notes out of play dough. They demonstrated their knowledge by reading rhythms from the board.

1-3: We continued our work on The Lion King music. They have started to learn choreography for, “I Just Can’t Wait to Be King, Hakuna Matata, and Can You Feel the Love Tonight.” One day it was so nice that we decided to learn outside.

4-8: We have started blocking the show as well as continuing our work on the music.
