Takin' Care of Business!

We have been so busy and had so much fun along the way!

Primary: We used the rhythm scarves to explore music and move our bodies. We learned and practiced spatial awareness and our gross and fine motor skils.

PreK: We finished out study of Pitch Hill and our Solfege friends (Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Ti, Do). We practiced our hand signals and even used out knowledge to play Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star. We ended class by playing Hide the Potato and worked out our listening skills.

1st: We began our study on different Rhythms. We learned about Quarter Notes, Quarter Rest and Eighth Notes. We learned their value and how to say them. We even made them out of playdough! It was a blast!

2nd: They have become masters of Quarter Notes, Quarter Rests, and Eighth Notes. They know how to read them, say them, play them and write them. We even created our own rhythms. We even started learning about half notes and half rests.

3rd: They have all completed the first test of Recorder Karate and are now all White Belts. They played Hot Crossed Buns. The next belt is Yellow and will require a new skill.

4th: They are working on becoming Green Belts as they continue their study of Recorder Karate.

5-8: We have been practicing our Candlelight Songs in preparation for Candlelight. When we have time, we work on Chapel Songs and Musical Songs.
