Oops!

Today during a first grade class, I noticed some kids weren't participating in the super fun beanie baby activity.  They were all staring and pointing at the ceiling.  So, I joined them and saw this . . .

Oh, wait.  Maybe you can't see it.  Let me zoom in a little.

I can honestly say in 13 years THAT has never happened with 1st graders! 

(Oh, did I mention I have 14 feet ceilings???)

So, of course, the only possible way to get it down was to turn on the fan!!!! 

Ahhhhh.  The fun of elementary music!!  :D

Louis Armstrong

November is here!  First grade is hard at work on their Christmas Program.  So, only Kindergarten will have a Musician of the Month.

So, this month, Kindergarten is learning about Louis Armstrong!

Louis Armstrong is a Jazz singer and Trumpet player. 

We are learning about Jazz music, "scat" singing, the trumpet, and the Brass family of instruments!

Watch Louis sing Dinah below.  Don't forget to listen for the "scat" singing!!
