Kindergarten Music class
During the month of February, Mrs. Beard's Kindergarten classes are learning to sing, play, read, write, and aurally detect easy rhythms using non-traditional notation. Students are learning about quarter note and eighth notes and relating them to the number of syllables in the words they sing. Pictured here is one of the kindergarten classes performing a German Valentine Dance that they had just notated with popsicle sticks. Students enjoyed telling their potential valentines "Maybe 'ja' or maybe 'nien'! as they switched partners around the circle.
