The past few weeks seem to have flown by!
We are gearing up for Valentine's day in the music room with songs of friendship.
Kindergarten has sung, "Willoughby, Wallaby, Woo," all about putting the letter W in front of our favorite friends' names and our own to create some funny rhyhmes. For example, Jamie becomes Wamie, Ben becomes Wen, Allie becomes Wallie, and so forth.
First grade has sung, "Circle Round the Zero," which is all about finding your friends and sticking with them.
Second grade has sung, "I Sent a Letter," all about writing a letter (like maybe a Valentine card) that has been dropped somewhere. Maybe someone has picked it up! Who might it be?
Third grade has worked on partner reflections. Kids choose a partner and take turns mirroring each others actions. This results in quite a few interesting and creative movements!
Fourth and fifth grade have been hard at work preparing for their music program. Many of the songs they will be performing have several layers of sounds from a variety of instruments and voices. Of course, our "Annie" production will be presented on that night as well, and it is looking better and better all the time.
The Simonton "Annie" cast had the opportunity to perform for the School Board meeting on February 2nd. They were supported and observed by their families, teachers, and community members and it was a really nice way experience performing a few of the songs from our show.
