6th Grade Music in 2008

Frank’s class had music today, Lynn’s class will have to wait until Thursday to begin the New Year of Music. The class decided on new seating, which remains largely the same as last semester. It seems students are mostly comfortable where they were assigned previously. We began to practice songs for the Martin Luther King Assembly, today reviewing Stevie Wonder’s “Happy Birthday.” As a written exercise, each student wrote about two pieces of music they had experienced over the vacation, and we began a discussion about similarities and differences of choice. We will continue this discussion next class. Students are invited to bring in favorite songs to share with the class. More later –
