Wow, what a crazy week! I was away for most of it but I was so happy to be back today to see everyone in their costumes. This is my favourite day of the year!
This week in music there has been a variety of things happening.
The Kindergarten continued to play, sing and move to Halloween songs. They loved casting spells on their classmates, turning them into all sorts of creatures. We also started to read music. We looked at quarter notes and eighth notes. We clapped and counted them as ta and ti-ti. We had fun creating these rhythms with body percussion.
The grade 1/2 played Halloween games as well. They also tried their hand at bucket drumming. We used Halloween words to represent different rhythms and then we played our creations. Mrs. Campbell's class did some work on learning the Acknowledgement of the Land. Please look for an assignment in the Music Google Classroom with the video for them to practice to.
The grade 3/4's did a variety of things. Mrs. Zwack, Mr. Kelly, Mrs. McLean, Mrs. Watterson and Mr. Neily's classes all spent time working on their pieces for Remembrance Day. If you are in Mrs. Zwack's or Mr. Kelly's class please remember to bring your black top (shirt/sweater...) for next music class. Mr. Kelly is Tuesday and Mrs. Zwack is Wednesday.
All classes participated in Halloween games and activities. We also started to watch Mickey Mouse - The Haunted House. Each grade 3/4 is taking a small piece of the video and we are creating the sounds that go along with the video with the instruments in the class.
