Centers!

This week in music we are having Centers!  First graders have waited ALL YEAR for centers.  They are one of the most fun (and relaxing) things we do all year.  Here are a few pictures from this week.  In each center, the kids get to explore and create their own music and art work.  They stay in each center for 10 minutes, and them rotate on to the next center.  No one gets bored!

This week in Music - First Grade!

It's May!  May is a fun month in Music because we can start to relax and let our hair down!  Besides, its almost SUMMER!!

This week in first grade we are singing lots of fun songs.  Here is a photo of Mrs. Dailey's class singing Ode to a Marshmallow:
We pretended we were roasting marshmallows on a campfire.  And, when they were "toasted golden brown", we got to gobble them up!!

You can listen to Ode to a Marshmallow here.  (And buy it for $.99 if you want!)

Another fun song was called I Like Balloons!  Here is Mrs. Morgan's class having fun with their balloon!




You can listen to I Like Balloons here.  (And buy it for $.99 if you like.)
