December Music Blog
The month of December has flown by in music class. In the primary classes, we’ve learned about snow, trees, and holiday traditions. We’ve practiced holiday songs for the classroom sing-a-longs, and danced with snowflakes. We’ve pretended that we were going on a winter hike by putting on our snow pants, boots, jackets, hats, scarves, and mittens, followed by making footprints in the snow. We also fell down and made snow angels!
The lower elementary classes put on wonderful performances for their families and friends. Thank you to Ms. Kim and Ms. Sydney for helping me when I was so ill. I wasn’t able to be there for the dress rehearsals, but with the help of these two amazing teachers, we were able to practice in preparation for the actual plays. The children were well prepared and did a great job! I really appreciate Danna Etyemezian, Kini Tan, and Olha Chao for helping prepare props, and the set!
Upper elementary and middle school have been working on creating their own music and accompaniments for the poem Good, Better, Best. We are also learning more notes with the recorders.
I hope everyone in our school has a wonderful holiday break and come back ready to create, dance, sing, and play in music class!! Happy Holidays!
I want to add a big thank you to all of you for the generous and thoughtful gifts!
