3rd Grade: The third graders have been working extremely hard on learning the songs for their "Sweets and Songs" Performance. They have also been learning about Peter Tchaikovsky, listening to his music, and watching some of "The Nutcracker" ballet. The students have been using their listening maps to "Trepak" from "The Nutcracker" and having a blast while listening and following along. This week the students are playing a "Tchaikovsky vs. Beethoven" game. The game is boys against girls. I will ask questions, if the girls miss, then the boys have a chance to steal and vice versa. There are tie breaker questions as well.
4th Grade: The fourth graders have also been working on their music for "Sweets and Songs." They have worked really hard on words, so now it's time to add some motions in there. We'll see how it goes. They have also been learning about Peter Tchaikovsky, listening to his music, and watching some of "The Nutcracker" ballet. They also have used the listening maps to "Trepak" from the Nutcracker and have done really well following along.
I also would like to announce the winners of the "Good Behavior Contest!" These classes have shown respect and great character to me, others, and themselves every time they came to music this first semester. You should all be very proud of your children. It shows what great examples you are being in their lives.
GOOD BEHAVIOR CONTEST WINNERS:
3rd grade: Mrs. Shankles and Mrs. K. Harris
4th grade: Mrs. Burns, Mr. Young, and Mrs. Stewart
