Countdown to Winter Break...

This week in music, the classes will be learning about Irving Berlin and watching the classic movie musical White Christmas. Later in the week, we will be singing Holiday tunes such as Marshmallow World, Deck the Halls, Dominick the Donkey, and the kids will write a Christmas Rap.

I hope everyone has a fun and safe winter break!!! I look forward to seeing everyone in 2012!

This week in music the students will be learning various components of rhythm through counting, performing, and writing/composing. The 7th and 8th grade classes will be learning new time signatures including cut time and compound time.

Rhythm Test:
December 8- 6th and 8th grade
December 9- 7th grade

This week we will have some music education majors from Elmhurst College teaching lessons in my classroom. Each lesson will be taught by a "team" (two students) to help them prepare for student teaching. Their professor from Elmhurst will accompany them, and I will also be in the room as they teach their lesson. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to email or call me.
