Good December to you all! Before the Thanksgiving Break, fifth grade started to learn basic grip as they prepared to perform a simple syncopated pattern for a reggae piece (Remember 1 tika 2 tika 3 tika 4 tika?). We continued that as December rolled in last week, and this week we are reviewing and hopefully adding dotted notes to the mix. Fourth graders have been trying to get the hang of canons and were closer to succes when we switched to the speech "A Journey". They also covered octaves, descants, and patriotic music. They are slated to do triads (with a focus on minor home tone and the dominant V7 chord) and part songs. Third grade is in gear to be introduced to canons and rounds now that they have had to identify different singing voices, perform a cumulative song, and identify the musical alphabet. I am looking forward to seeing how they do with the canons and rounds! Below are some videos to reinforce all of the concepts listed in the above sections.
