"I am so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers." - Anne of Green Gables
I think all of our students and teachers would agree with this sentiment! We absolutely loved all of our October activities and learning! Kindergarten practiced moving to the steady beat through autumn-themed songs and games like "Rake the Leaves," "With my Little Broom," and "Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater." We love singing about numbers, especially when our songs turn into games like "One Potato!" and "Ten Little Candles." We learned to play drums in unique ways we had never played them before, and we played rhythm sticks with one of our favorite songs "The Baby Mice." The first graders continued adding to their knowledge of musical notation by practicing their recognition of quarter notes, eighth notes, and quarter rests. We learned that a "phrase" is a "musical sentence" and that an introduction is "something short that happens at the beginning!" One of our favorite activities was "Engine Engine." As you can see in the picture above, there were many elements to this activity! Block class periods on Wednesdays this month were spent enjoying Halloween-themed activities and songs. Some favorites were "We are Scary Skeletons" and "The Witch has an Itch." Thanks for spending time on our blog! Check back later to see our next month's post.
