December Music!

December Celebrity Singers in Chorus!
JFK 3rd Grade
JFK 4th Grade

JFK 5th Grade and Parmenter 5th Grade TBA in January


December Musician, Culture, and Composer of the Month!
1st Grade Musician: Ludwig van Beethoven

Here is one of Beethoven's greatest pieces performed as a flash mob! 

2nd Grade Culture: Europe

While 2nd graders enjoyed doing their own Russian dance, we also loved seeing some authentic Russian dancers!
3rd Grade Composer: Pytr Tchaikovsky

Mrs. Henneberry 3rd Grade performing the March from the Nutcracker! Great way to explore form!
Looking for one or two of these if anyone has one they don't use any more!

Other snapshots of Music in December!
Below are pictures and videos of different activities and concepts we explored in music. I plan to feature every class that I teach at JFK and Parmenter by the end of the year. 


 Mrs. Saford's Class exploring macro and micro beats in duple meter to the tune of "Jingle Bells."


Mrs. Logan's class exploring form and movement through "Dance of the Reed Flutes" from the Nutcracker. All K and 1 classes worked on this activity.



All classes 1-5 had an opportunity to share music from home in "music show and tell" this past week. Students will have another opportunity in June. Here is a clip from 5th graders in Mrs. Vicente's class. 

Winter Sing along/Caroling at Parmenter and JFK this week! Led by the 5th grade choruses!




Stay tuned for more! Also follow me on twitter @MrsMacMusic1
