October

This month has flown by! So much has happened this month. We were out of school the 14th and 15th of this month for our fall break, 3rd grade classes have gone on field trips, we've had a recycle bowl kickoff, and went to the Fine Arts Center to see a food play. So I've missed quite a few classes this month because of all the scheduling conflicts. 

3rd grade: This month has been entirely dedicated to our Veteran's Day program which comes up in 2 weeks! I can't believe it's so close. Some of my classes have learned all of the songs for the performance which is great because we can just refine those songs and make them sound great; however I have about 10 classes that have not learned one of the songs and 6 of those classes have not learned two of the songs. So, of course, I'm in a panic. Maybe we can learn them in time. If you would like to review some of the songs with your child or let them listen to them, here is a list we are singing: God Bless America, The Star Spangled Banner, You're a Hero, Thank You Military, Military Medley.

4th grade: This month we finished up our music stations, worked on playing rhythms with our rhythm sticks and egg shakers, learned about how music is just sound waves, and so much more. We also started learning a song by Louis Armstrong called "What a Wonderful World." The students love this song. It has such a wonderful meaning. The students will probably sing this song at a performance we have in January called "Sweets and Songs."More information about that later.

Hope everyone has a spooky rest of the month! Happy Halloween!

And don't forget......
