New Secret Password!

The NEW secret password is...

hamburger!

I decided to play this game one more week! Why?
1. To get more people signed up 
2. Some students did not get a chance to share the password last week because of lack of time or our day off.
*See directions below
*Students who played this week can not play again next week. 







Thank you for signing up for my blog!

All next week, Monday, September 22-Friday, 26, I will be asking classes if anyone knows the secret password. Either tell your child the secret password or write it down for them! Make sure you tell them not to share it with their friends! If they can show me or whisper it to me they can play the gong for the whole class!

On this blog you'll find important dates, information and see what your children do at music! Make sure you follow by e-mail or become a follower!

Thanks for playing! Mrs. Mac:)

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday to our Musician of the Month, Gustav Holst! 

This year each month, we will be celebrating students' birthdays along with a birthday of a famous musician born the same month! Last year, we really focused on the cultures represented by the musicians. This year, I still plan to look at the musicians' cultures but I also plan to focus on musicians who are also composers, meaning they write their own music. I hope every student either individually or as a class creates their own music this year! After all, creativity is what the arts do best!

Check out how Gustav Holst used his imagination and knowledge of astronomy and Greek mythology to make the different planets come to life!

Looking for a volunteer! (JFK)

I am looking for a volunteer at JFK to help with copying this year! I really only need help in the next week or so and then again in December. This is primarily to help with grades 3, 4, and 5 chorus and recorder music. If you are willing, please e-mail me at macmurraym@franklin.k12.ma.us

 

Thanks in advance! Mrs. MacMurray

 

*Thank you so much to all who volunteered! I'm all set with copiers this year! Thank you again!

 

Welcome back!

Hello Everyone!

Welcome back! I hope everyone had a great summer and first of school! This week in music class, we discussed names, rules and what to expect this year.  Of course, we had to squeeze in a fun game, too! I'm really excited for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade chorus to start this week!

This summer was an exciting one for my family! My 2 1/2 year-old son went on his first plane to Oregon to be in his Auntie's wedding, moved into a big boy bed, AND found out he was going to be a big brother! My family and I are very excited that there will be another little MacMurray this December! I have been telling all my students this past week and it was really fun to hear their reactions. I am getting quite a few good name suggestions!:)

I am really looking forward to showcasing all the fun and learning we will do this year right here on this blog!

(Not usually a punster but…) Stay tuned! Mrs. Mac
