This week Mrs. Cox and Mrs. Huebner's classes continued working on their peace assembly. Mrs. Zwack's class is working on their Remembrance Day piece. Everything is going to be a little bit different this year and it has been interesting trying to figure out how to make this all work.
The grade 3/4's have been working on reading the notes on the staff and playing the xylophone. This week we learned that our hand (facing us) works like a 5 line staff. The pinky is line one. We talk about the easy ways to remember the note names and names the notes we needed for the xylophone.
The mnemonic device for the notes on the lines is : Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge
The rhyme for the spaces is: Space rhymes with face - F, A, C, E
Both of these start from the bottom up.
