Kindergarten: Speechercise- Great warm ups to improve the voice and talking, We are doing a series of songs that star Clifford the big red dog, "Kuokburra and Clifford", "Clifford Went over the Mountain", "Do your ears hang low", "Down by the Bay". Students will be using instruments with Greg and Steve's "Rock and Roll Rhythm Band"
1st grade: Students will be using some literacy and writing skills in music as they answer questions about Gustov's Holst's piece "The Planets". They will act as detectives to find answers, color and answer questions. Students will listen to the pieces and watch a short video and write about what they have learned.
2nd Grade: Students will compare and contrast using a Venn diagram the two pieces, one from Mozart and the other is by Miles Davis. They will learn about characteristics of the different periods of music.
3rd Grade: Students will continue with their music writing activity. They are using percussion instruments and barred instruments to write music. They are using manuscript paper and working on how to write in 4/4 meter.
4th Grade: Please remind students about bringing recorders to class and practice. They are working hard!
5th grade: Students will be working with barred and percussion instruments; they will read music, learning more complex rhythms and syncopation.

Jubilance Choir As the year is coming to an end; we sometimes get Spring fever, please keep encouraging students of the importance of singing out and responding at Mass.
