We have learned 2 more patriotic songs in music class. We sang God Bless America and God Bless the USA. We learned that God Bless the USA had a pattern to it: verse, chorus, verse, chorus.
We added 2 letters to our music alphabet wall. We learned H for Harp and I for Igil. The harp is a string instrument and we watched a video of a lady playing JS Bach's Toccata and Fugue on the harp. The Igil is a string instrument from central Asia. We also watched a video of a man playing the igil.
We had some fun with the witches pot this week. All classes did the spooky rhythm brew and read rhythmic patterns that included quarter, 2 eighths, and quarter rests. We also did the Witches Brew.
K-1 classes had some fun doing the Pumpkin Pumpkin partner game this week.
We also used the book Dem Bones and learned the song and skeleton dance.
Overall, it was another fantastic week in the music classroom. We ended our week by celebrating Halloween at the school. Our Halloween parade and trunk or treat event was very fun. The high school band provided entertainment for this event. They did a fabulous job!
