3rd thru 5th grades are learning concert music for the holiday. Today they learned about the grand staff, pitches on the staff, their names and how notes tell us how long to play or sing a sound. They also learned syncopation, note values, and have played every instrument in class (except the Uke's). They are now working on dynamics and timbre, adding polished effects to our concert.

All Students are earning behavior stickers and after they fill up their card, they turn it in for a prize from Ms. Dee!!!
