We are winding down Music in Our Schools Month and Reading Month by combining the two in our activities. By the end of the week all students should have had a chance to hear one of two fables, "The Three Billy Goats Gruff" or "How the Camel Got His Hump." These fables have key words where a musical instrument is played and also have a short song that goes with them. The song is accompanied by our xylophones and glockenspiels. It is difficult to listen carefully enough to not miss an opportunity to play! (Ask your children about the vibraslap, gong, casaba, guiro, bell tree, claves or ocean drum.)
First and second graders have also enjoyed the story of "Peter and the Wolf" with some acting and a video as well as a book. Third and fourth graders will be hearing "The Carnival of the Animals." Spring break is close. Please have a safe and happy week off!
