I've been having a blast with my only 1st grade class, Ms. Davis' class! We've been working very hard on quarter notes and 8th notes in the month of October! We practiced them while singing Apple Tree and Postman. The students even composed their own "letters" of four beats with quarter notes and eighth notes while working on Postman! We have also started learning solfege notes Sol and Mi while singing Doggie, Doggie and Lemonade. Coming up, we're going to learn to keep a steady beat on the xylophone while singing Postman, and we're going to continue our practice of quarter note, eighth note, Sol, and Mi with new songs like Cobbler, Cobbler and Star Light, Star Bright!
