So both my schools have celebrated the 100th day of school this year! We have a lot of fun in the music room. One of our activities is to see if we can be quiet for 100 seconds. We discuss how long this is and also about sound and silence in music.
We also sing and move to a few songs in which we have to show off our counting skills. One of our favorites is an activity called Mr. B. This activity uses our speaking voices and requires us to count to 100 by 5s.
We've had a lot of fun in music for 100 days and look forward to finish up the year on a good note.

February
so our composer of the month for January was camille st saens and we had a lot of fun listening and acting out the Carnival of the Animals. My 1st and 3rd graders completed a writing activity describing their experience with carnival of the animals. They did an excellent job writing and Illustrating the piece.
February's composer is going to be John Williams. I plan to use some awesome listening glyphs and my ITunes account to download his awesome movie music.
February is another busy month with black history month/jazz month, Valentine's day, 100th day of school, jump rope for heart events (taking my kids from music class but a very good cause). My lesson plans are chalk full of fun stuff. We are also learning some songs in preparation for the concert for music in our schools month next month. We worked on "we the people" this week and had an awesome history/geography/music lesson.
I also had to decorate the front bulletin boards at Holden this month because it's music/PEs month to do this task. They turned out great! Will try and get some pictures soon.

Recorder karate
This is my new recorder karate bulletin board. I've been wanting to do one for a few years and this week I finally did. It's a work in progress. I only put the first three songs up because we are working on BAG songs. The kids loved putting their little recorder karate person up. My goal is to get everyone on white and hopefully move some up this week to yellow. They totally love this unit!
