YES YOU CAN .... Sing along with the Frog Land Band! Grade 1
Welcome back !
What will we do this year in music class?
In first grade our year is divided into two major units. The first is LITERATURE based, and the second unit compares two musical forms, the ANIMATED AND STAGE MUSICAL. In each unit, a teacher created workbook will accompany the unit. These books were designed to give the students a large variety in song repertoire and practice in the musical theory that is appropriate according to State and Archdiocese guidelines.
We do interupt unit 1 to prepare for our WORLD FAMOUS Thanksgiving program. We also spend a good period of time learning the Liturgical music that is used in the our monthly Masses and prayer services. We hope that this training will be be exhibited during your attendence at Mass on Sunday. Perhaps your children will even teach YOU a song or two.
The timetable for each of these units varies with the demands of the school year. It also provides for creative expression as they children turn their musical ideas into art work. Check with your child to find out what unit we are working on at the present time. I am sure they will be anxious to share their finished books with you and sing you their favorite songs.
Unit 1 - The Musicians of Bremen We will start the year with a story of friendship, bravery, and MUSIC, MUSIC, MUSIC. We will continue the build on the instrument types that were introduced in the MUSICIANS OF BREMEN and learn more about the families to which these instruments belong. While we are on “break” please have your child view these YouTube videos. We will discuss what they have learned when we return. Parents, please supervise, since there are Ads and comments that the children can access.
