Music Around the World--Session 3--Week 6--South America

  What an exciting day we had at our Music Around the World Class today! We learned all about South America and one of their favorite instruments--the rainstick. After exploring some of the special places you can visit in Brazil, we were able to learn about a day in the life of a boy from Brazil. We also saw some of the different ways that you can make a rainstick. We enjoyed learning about the rainstick so much that we decided to make our very own rainstick. Then, we had the privilege of singing "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" with our new instruments. We also reviewed two of our favorite songs, "Kye, Kye, Kule" and "It's a Small World." We had such a fabulous day and can not wait to share our show with you all in May! Here are some pictures and a video from our exciting day! Leave us a comment and let us know what you think!

Popsicles and the Playground

    Our Kindergarten-Second Grade students stayed after school on Thursday to enjoy a Popsicles and the Playground Party benefiting our Find Your Light Service Project. Our students had an awesome time enjoying a cool tasty treat and spending some extra time playing with their friends! Not only did we have a wonderful time, but we were able to continue to add funds to our service project! Here are some sweet pictures from our fun afternoon together! We hope you enjoy them!

Legoland

   What a wonderful field trip we had to Legoland. This event reviewed our unit on tall towers and bridges. This week we began learning about our community and what buildings we need to keep us safe. We traveled to Legoland where we created our own buildings and explored Legoland. Watch our show to see our adventure. Let us know what you think by leaving us a comment!

Music Around the World--Session 3--Week 5--America

   Wow! What an exciting day we had today at our fifth morning of our Music Around the World Class! Today we learned about our country--America! We focused on how Texans like to put a country twist on American favorites. After reviewing "It's a Small World" and "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star," we were treated to a special guest, Miss Todd's Dad, Mr. Todd. He played his guitar for us and sang, "Sneaky Snake", a song that he and Miss Todd sang together when she was our age.  After enjoying Mr. Todd's presentation, we had the opportunity to create string things, harmonicas, and washboards. We used these instruments to accompany our song, "You Are my Sunshine!" You can listen to our rousing rendition in the show we made below. Leave us a comment and let us know what you think about our fun day!

Don't forget to join us on Thursday night, May 2nd at 7:00 P.M. for our presentation of our Music Around the World Celebration Night! You are going to enjoy seeing all of the instruments that we have created and songs that we have learned on our musical journey around the world!
