Time seems to be flying by so quickly this school year. It's hard to believe it's almost October! However, all the moms can agree with me when I say I'm okay with time going by quickly because I'm eagerly awaiting having my baby in late November/early December. :)
For the past two weeks, 3rd, 4th and 5th grades have been learning some basics on the ukulele. We have a special assembly coming up in late October, and some of the performers will be playing ukuleles. I wanted the students to get an idea of what it's like to play chords on a stringed instrument. We quickly learned that strumming is the easy part, and our fingers have to get used to where they go to make the chords.
Second grade has been learning lots of fun music terms... in Italian! We are having a good time learning to pronounce the words and learning what they are telling us about how to perform a song.
The Prairie Pups are busy working on songs for their concert on October 24. Several of their songs have to do with grandparents, so make sure you're letting those grandparents know they are invited to our concert. It's exciting each week to hear them singing with more confidence. I am really looking forward to this concert! More information will be coming home in a few weeks in Friday folders.
Have a great week!!
