Weeks 8 and 9

Happy November!

Everyone is making great progress in music. 5th grade is making new discoveries everyday on the recorder, and 4th grade has learned a circle dance and is improving their steps all the time. 3rd grade has begun work on "Mbira Jam," a piece for marimba and xylophone, and 2nd grade is making great strides toward learning to read their first notes! 1st grade started work on their song for the fall concert, "Na I'a 'Ono E" - it's an Hawaiian song about different native fish. They have also been coloring pictures of these fish. Kindergarten sang "O ma washi" for Mrs U today, and have been working on moving to music in a variety of ways.

CHOIR NOTE
If your student has not yet returned the response sheet about singing at Wallingford Center this December, please send it in this week or email Ms. Katie at karaschko@seattelschools.org.
