What a month!
September was a success.
All students have settled into the music classroom.
We have been doing a great job
with learning classroom
rules and expectations.
All grades have just about reached
their first goal of
Leo Coins!
(They will be getting their reward day soon)
Beat Buddies have started
to befriend the students.
1st, 2nd, and 3rd graders
have been Rockin' the Rockstars!
AND
everyone has been coming into
music class with their
Dancing Shoes and Smiles- 
Students will be learning/practicing:
-Echo songs
(I go first, they go second)
-Call and Response
(Leader sings, audience responds)
-Using their Four Voices
(Whisper, Speak, Sing, Shout)
-Vocal Exploration
(Vowels, Sounds, Registers, Voices)
and of course...
-HALLOWEEN activities.
