We've been doing a lot of learning in first grade! We have been playing lots of singing games like Apple Tree and Doggie, Doggie. We just learned about quarter notes and 8th notes, and we're working on our singing with sol-mi-la songs.
I only have one 1st grade class this year, and I have to say I'm already very impressed with Mrs. Davis' class! We played a fun name game in the first week and we got the opportunity to get to know each other better. This month we're going to be learning all about quarter notes and 8th notes! We'll be identifying these rhythms in the songs we sing, as well as improvising and composing with quarter notes and 8th notes. Soon we will also start learning to play the Orff xylophones, and we'll be using them to accompany ourselves while we sing!
