Week 15

Thank you to everyone who attended our Fall Concert! The students have enjoyed watching their performances in class this week, and have been evaluating their performances and their audience behavior. Most classes have also had a free choice day since the concert, and have been working on audience behavior as their classmates perform.

This week, 5th grade started a unit on samba batucada, also known as the percussive side of samba. In the coming weeks, they will be learning to play and improvise in this exciting musical style.

Next week, 4th grade will bring home recorders. They have reviewed the notes they learned last year, and will be learning notes with the left hand and more complex rhythms.

Students in grades K-4 have begun to learn "Phleng Wan Koet," a birthday song from Thailand. Hopefully, we will learn the words well enough to sing it at a Monday morning assembly in the coming weeks.
