Well it's November, which is one of the busiest months(along with December) in the music room. We had our Veterans Day program and the students did wonderful with their music performances for our special guests/heroes. The 4th grade students led the program and did a wonderful job!
The K-1 classes had a little Thanksgiving fun after Veterans day. We did The Pumpkin Song and 5 Fat Turkey's. Both of these are singing games. We added our pumpkin shakers to both songs to show that we can keep a steady beat.
All classes have started Christmas program material also. Here is our themes for this year and I think it's going to be a great Christmas program.
PK & K- traditional Christmas songs
1st and 3rd- Rockin' Christmas songs
2nd grade will be performing a Readers' Theatre version of "How the Grinch Stole Christmas". We have been working on some musical numbers to add to this also.
4th grade will be performing a choral version of the Nutcracker. I absolutely love the Nutcracker! It is one of my favorite Christmas stories!
Now we are enjoying a much needed Thanksgiving Break and when we return we will have 3 weeks to finish preparing for the Christmas program.
