Program Prep and Composers

This week we are making sure that our program songs are memorized. (Parent Program March 24 at 2:30 PM, other guests Friday, March 25 classroom visitation at 2:00, music program at 2:45 PM.) We are beginning to work on logistics as well. Assessments for the last report card will begin this week also. One of the first grade classes had a special guest. Mr. Louisell visited to show them a banjo. They were reading a book about a frog with a banjo and made the invitation to him. Other classes have been singing along with an autoharp. Mrs. Louisell has one that has 21 chords. It's a little different than our Vowles instruments with 15 chords. Ask your children about our stretching routine. This week the music is Hungarian Rhapsody number 3 by Brahms. He is the last of the composers on our 'wall of fame' to be heard. We have already stretched to music by: Bach, Handel, Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, and Saint-Saiens.
