Finding the Rhythm
Kindergarten learned about the beat in music and how to move to it and play it! It was fun to explore lots of different ways to respond to the music. They used scarves, instruments, and their bodies to show the beat.
The 1/2 class learned about steady beat and we practiced playing instruments along with the beat, using many silly poems, songs, and even our own creations!
The 2/3 class and grade 4 reviewed steady beat. They loved using the Boomwhackers to play along with songs. Circle games and movement games were a big success to help them learn about beat versus rhythm.

Tui Sutherland at Capital Center for the Arts
Our fourth graders recently traveled to the Capital Center for the Arts, where they had the exciting opportunity to hear author Tui Sutherland speak. Sutherland is the creator of the beloved Wings of Fire series, and students were inspired by her stories and insights into the writing process. Each student even brought home a special edition book from the series.
