Hello! This week has been very busy here at Bingham Farms Elementary!! I have enjoyed your little ones
and wanted to post what we accomplished this week!!
Kindergarten:
Please ask them about Abiyoyo. They colored a picture of the little boy and his ukelele in class. We also played our "magic box game" which they loved!
First Grade: We were able to play a cup game, which helped them understand rhythm beginning with ta's and rests. We also finished "Ebeneezer Sneezer" ( a song with steps) and "Pass Me Some Chocolate" ( a song with leaps).
Second Grade: They loved the magic box game and playing the xylophones on an ostinato to "Sally Go Round the Sun"
Third Grade: They received some information about ordering recorders this week. We began learning "FACE" and "EGBDF" to get them ready to read music for recorder playing. If we had time, we also reviewed our "La Raspa" dance and "A Song of Peace."
Fourth Grade: Please have your student start to bring their recorder if they have one at home. If not, we have some at school they can use. We began practicing a hit song from a movie, "I'm a Believer."
Fifth Grade: We reviewed "A Song of Peace" and learned some new vocal warm ups. We are still practicing our singing voices and learning what to do so that we don't strain our voices when we sing. We reviewed dynamic markings and if we had extra time, played a rhythm exercise on our chairs (they loved it)!
