ELEMENTARY:
HI everyone! I can't really believe that we are already in mid March.... summer is closer than we think!!!
We had fun in all our classes in February, working on beefing up our hearing of melody and harmony by working on some songs for Valentine's day. Pastor Flood had "Love" as the theme for the month in our chapel and we concentrated on singing about the never-ending love of God in class as well!
Now that we are in March, we have been singing songs about St. Patrick's day and the kids have been hearing songs from Ireland and hearing Irish Reel's as well! It's been fun. Also, some classes have been learning about how some songs tell stories, but sometimes music is used to give directions, more specifically how to carry out work on sailing ships by singing "sea shanty's!" These have been a big hit with the kids!! Going forward, we will bring these songs up more and in order to reinforce rhythm and beat and to help the kids learn the difference!
I can't tell you how very much I love these kids! I consider it a pure joy and honor to get to make music with them each day!!!

Middle School:
This was the end of the 3rd quarter. Next Monday, the 4th and final quarter will start and I am looking forward to meeting my new students for music class. We will be learning theory, music history and doing some music appreciation as well. I have loved each middle school class so far and am looking forward to the new kids!!!
Have a great weekend!! Enjoy the weather!!
