January 14th

JK

We played a game at the beginning of class to revisit piano and forte. We also listened to a piece of classical musical played by the flute and answered questions regarding: fast & slow, loud & soft, high & low, and how the music made us feel.


Grade 1, 2, 3 & 4

Students worked on the following pages in their music duo-tangs:

1. Cover Page
       - Answer the question "How does music make me feel?"
       - Students can add images and colour their cover pages

2. My Favourite Instrument
       - Write down the name of their favourite instrument
       - Discover and write down which Orchestra Instrument Family their instrument belongs in
       - Write 3 sentences explaining why it is their favourite instrument
       - Draw what their instrument looks like

3. Create Your Own Instrument
       - Name their instrument
       - Draw their instrument and colour with pencil crayon
       - Explain (in writing) what their instrument sounds like and how it is played

As we have been working on these pages for the past few classes students are asked to complete any unfinished work for homework tonight! I will be completing a homework-check in class tomorrow.

7 & 8 Tech


Students are also asked to define the term: Innovation
