Memorial Day Assembly

This past Tuesday, May 27th, the students participated in an assembly celebrating the men and women who have given their lives in service to our country. The students sang patriotic songs, watched some footage of Memorial Day, and heard about the history of the day. Mrs. Weaver's class and Ms. Lagos' class presented a "flash mob" using flags to the tune of "Stars and Stripes Forever". It was very cool! They were scattered throughout the gym and the rest of the students did not know what was going on! Great job everyone!

First Grade Concert!

The first grade will be presenting their spring concert on Wednesday, May 14th at 6:30 PM at Franklin Middle School. They will be performing songs we have been working on for the year from composers like Woody Guthrie, Stephen Foster, and Jack Johnson. Hope to see you there!

The Month Of April

The month of April will be another busy one for the Music Room. Here's what we will be up to: Kindergarten is working on singing songs new and old in preparation for their end of the year concert. They also are working on playing instruments to a steady beat. First Grade is gearing up for their concert on May 14th. They are learning new songs to go with the songs they learned earlier in the year. Second Grade is finishing up a long unit on rhythmic notation. We have leaned about the names and durations of several notes and rests. We will be learning some new singing games next. Third Grade will be learning about the lives of famous composers. We discussed Mozart earlier in the year and we will be checking out Beethoven and Bach this month. Fourth Grade will be finishing up learning about the Beatles. We will be checking out some media from the 1960's about Mr. Hazelton's favorite group. We will also be playing ukuleles again to get the chords back under our fingers. Phew! That's a lot! Hopefully spring will be sprung soon! -Mr. Hazelton

3rd and 4th Grade Concert

Last Thursday, the 3rd and 4th graders presented their concerts.  Third grade did some folk and country songs, and fourth grade did all songs by the Beatles.  The fourth grade concert was also the debut of the Ukulele Club.  They did a wonderful job and made me proud!  Here are some pictures from the show.
