Exploring American Music Through Movement! 🇺🇸
Our music students have been exploring the music of the United States and learning about the works of American composer Aaron Copland! Students used colorful scarves to move and respond to the music of Fanfare for the Common Man, and then worked together with parachutes to listen for and demonstrate the musical differences in Variations on “Simple Gifts.”

What better way to learn about music than to listen, move, create, and experience it together! 🎵🇺🇸

Mrs. Best's students are using "cheers" with names to help them learn and identify consonants and vowels. It's a fun, interactive way to practice letter sounds and reinforce early phonics skills!
