Q1W4

This week, 1st grade reviewed what "beat" is, and Kindergarten learned to play the maracas. 1st grade has begun working on Deck the Halls, and Kindergarten has begun working on "Oh Christmas Tree." 2nd and 3rd grade spent a class trying to compose music and then write it down in a way another student could play it (our conclusion: we need a standardized system of music notation so anyone can play anything). Both 2nd and 3rd grade started to look at the musical staff. 2nd grade reviewed Harvest Moon and Good King Wenceslas; 3rd grade reviewed Riu, Riu, Chiu.
