A week of Steady Beat Fun!!

This week was a fun week of learning all about steady beat.  Here is what we did in music class!

PK:
**Quaver lesson 1! In Logan County, we adopted the Quaver Music series, which is an online program that is very engaging. In this first lesson our themes were "rules help us" and "music is treasure".  We discussed the rules we use at school and how they help make school a better place. We also listened to lots of music and showed how music is a treasure. We had fun moving creatively to this music. 
**Songs we know: If You're Happy and You Know it; Open Them, Shut Them; Hello Welcome, How are you?

Kindergarten:
**Quaver Lesson 2: Beat and No Beat
**In this lesson we listened to different music and discussed if it had a beat or no beat. We enjoyed moving creatively to these  different music examples.
**Songs we know: Music Has a Steady Beat, Happy and You Know It, Wheels on the Bus
**Each lesson has a short Quaver video and this week we got to watch one about steady beat.

1st Grade:
**Quaver lesson 2: In this lesson we watched our first Quaver video of the year. In this video, we learned all about steady beat, measures, conductors, and the two types of beat(strong and weak). 
**Songs we know: Music has a steady beat and Jumping Jacks
**we discussed how when we speed up the beat we speed up the music. So, when we slow down the beat we slow down the music.

On Friday, we had a fun Double Day with Ms. Conley. We did a dance of the day, which was the Hokey Pokey. Then we reviewed some loco motor movements, which take us from place to place. 

Overall, it was an awesome week!! Enjoy your 3 day weekend!!
