Mr. Flower's blog Oct 5

We had another fun-filled week of music and other activities at St. Jude's! The kids really love music and love seeing me in the hallways of the school. They are all very sweet!
    We got a lot of work done in class this week(even though it was a short week). Here's what happened:

JK: The students spent a couple of classes learning how to sing The Wheels on the Bus. We were focusing on singing the words correctly and doing it with enthusiasm. We also sang a few other songs like The Owl, You Are My Sunshine, and the Itzy Bitzy Spider.

SK: These students are learning how to read the notes in the Bass and Treble clef. They are able to identify the notes of the Treble Clef but are having a little trouble with the Bass clef, but will be just fine.

Gr.1: The students are learning how to play The Wheels on the Bus on the Xylophone and are also singing their own songs at the front of the class!

Gr.2: These students are learning how to play notes on the xylophone to a metronome. It's quite the challenge but they seem to be up for it!

Gr.3: The grade 3 students are really good at singing! We are spending a lot of time learning about harmony and I am bringing groups of 3 to the front of the class to sing! I even have some students trying to outsing me! lots of fun!

Check back next week for another blog. Happy Thanksgiving!!
